Bloody Pasta

Today we will travel to Calabria which is the region is generally known as the "toe" of the "boot" of Italy.

Its the middle of summer, the temperature are high but a gentle sea wind will accompany us in this story.

Roberta Lanzino love that wind too.

She's a simple, clean, and happy 19 years old who was enjoying her first summer as a university student in July 1988.

She was driving the Piaggio to the sea side with

Il vento tra i capelli.

Her memory is still alive thanks to her parents and the foundation in her honor.

Today it is quite important episode for the podcast since I will report on the first Italian serial killer.

We will travel to the north part of Italy, where I am from.

The lore of this well-known serial killer is still alive in Reggio Emilia province.

And when I was a kid many times that name came-up.

My grand-parents will say:

Behave Valentina or I will call Cianciulli and she will transform you in soap.

Let me just say, this is how trauma pass over generations or you get obsessed with true crime.

Patrizia Moretti:

Why land him in such a violent and bloody manner?

He was alone.

There was no one there.

He was unarmed.

He was not a threat to anyone.

Why wait so long before notifying the family?

Of course. So we wouldn't have to see him...

If we had seen him like this what would have happened?

What resonance would it have had?

Andrea Magherini:

Something is clearly wrong with the system when law enforcement takes a military and repressive approach to every situation, especially when the person stopped has done nothing wrong and is simply seeking assistance.

When you're in the hands of government officials, your right to life is sacred, and you expect to be protected.
