Thanks so much! Really happy you enjoyed it. Yea, I'm kind of fascinated by this sudden trend to reopen long-ago shelved mafia cases. There's one going on with Mattarella's brother as well-- who was murdered back in 1980. Talk about the slow-moving wheels of justice. They must be powered by an Ape engine.
I was thinking the same!! Talk about a cliff-hanger. So far, they don't seem to have found any of said skeletons-- I think they started on Friday and then on advice from someone (maybe the priest), decided to try a different part of the grounds. But yes, I'll let you know if they hit pay dirt, so to speak. So glad you enjoyed the story.
You do realize that you’ve just hooked us all, yes? We demand updates on this search-but it has to be written by you. Forget the newspapers, your way is better.
Truly enjoyable with a Campari. Thank you. We will await the follow-up post when all shall be revealed and the skeletons emerge from the tunnels below.
Great reading. Thanks for this exquisitely Roman tale indeed. Sometimes when strolling through Rome, it's best not to think what might lie a few layers below.
Great to read in anticipation of my belated first visit to Italy in May 2026. I will reach 77 while there. Well wrought prose and I look forward to more!
Yes-- I'm feeling the same. I keep looking for updates. I think they started and then decided to try in a different spot in the garden. I'll let you know as soon as I have some news!!

Great story - thanks for sharing it.

Bravo
“took a little fizz out of my bitter” 😆 - I’m going to need to borrow that one. I so enjoy your writing!
On a side note, have you been to the Capuchin Crypt?
then there is the case of Emanuela Orlandi....
Thanks so much-- really means a lot coming from you. So glad you enjoyed it!
