" ... I am going to leave this level of testimony wonderful and terrible events that happened to me in my youth to assist ... "(from "The Name of the Rose" by Umberto Eco).
It was dark outside, the family had finished dinner for more than two hours together as they prayed the rosary every night around the fire, every family in this country was no ritual, at the end of every hard day's work, as fatigue overwhelm you, you do not forget to pray together, were moments of silence, steeped in spirituality. Since Anthony had returned, with greater transport Filomena thanked God who had made it safely to his son, had much in debt due to pull out the family had not been easy for her after her husband's death had been numerous petty theft, the last 15 days before the theft of geese. But with the return of his son Philip had found a new strength, a renewed faith in the future. With all the money of Antonio's creditors had been satisfied. She was a woman who with pride, from a family of owners Corropoli (Di Monte) could finally have his revenge. The whole country must have known that his son had made his fortune in America, which was no longer the poor widow in debt up to his neck which aroused pity. But in so doing was arousing envy and evil thoughts in people.
Antonio was now a young man of 32 years, could hardly recognize his own mother, her boyfriend had gone through the American experience profoundly changed into the body and especially in the soul. That evening his brother had come back to haunt him and bombarded with questions, they wanted to hear the stories of America but Antonio did not like to talk about it much, was not a holiday its not a trip. In his mind floated so many painful memories, most of them.
The glimmer of the fire was fading, was not powered by new wood. It was going to bed and while in the house were repeated every evening as the preparations coveted resting on the outside and something terrible was heinous act. A gang of thugs was taking action. It was composed of six men headed by the husband of an elementary school teacher (some Biaxxx Figxxxxxx). He used to be a frequent visitor of the farm, often had bivouacked by the Creve and Antonio did not like at all. He had sensed in him something ambiguous and dangerous and urged her mother to move it away but the woman was not of one mind "It 's a type well, is the husband of the teacher, educated people, of good family has to honor his presence there Antonio." That lazy degenerate, however, was the snake that was within the mind of the criminal gang. There was also a mill worker, of course Maccxxxx; had happened once, trying to find Philomena, was introduced in the house while she was busy counting the money sent by his children and had been impressed and very upset. There were also two members, of which just one guy, a family of thieves repeat offenders in the area, a family of outcasts who lived by their wits and petty theft, some Murxxx. The other two components, Fraxxxx Urxxx and belonged to the neighborhood. On the latter, who came from a peasant family Terrabianca estimated, there is no absolute certainty, it was the only one who can produce a fairly convincing alibi. The same band was certainly the author of the theft of geese took place 15 days before perhaps because, as you know, those animals could have given the alarm and prevent the ugly floor.
