       | As an Italian with classical studies as my main background, I

       | Amazing article.

       | Pascoli is dear to me, as he's known for gracing my uneventful
       | province home town with a beautiful poem as well. I'm positively
       | surprised that I still remember all of them from our task of
       | memorizing them in elementary school as well.
       | 
       | There used to be A LOT of poetry in our kids-of-the-80s school
       | curricula, now that I think of it. And I gotta say, I feel lucky
       | for that.

       | In short: after the murder, Pascoli Sr was replaced by a local
       | proto-gangster in the management of some land. The Pascoli family
       | strongly believed he was the instigator.
