Professor Mario Tiengo devoted his whole life to scientific research on pain. It is to him that we owe the “Metaphor of Alice's mirror”, a metaphorical representation of how mental events can interfere with the phenomenon of pain. This work retraces Tiengo's ideas and his research on the relationship between brain and mind in the perception of pain
