La neve nel cuore by Linda Pezzano

Come on, let’s go
snow-viewing
till we’re buried.

Matsuo Basho
(1644-1694)

On 29 September 1975 Rosaria Lopez and Donatella Colasanti were drugged, raped and tortured by three torturers, Andrea Ghira, Angelo Izzo and Giovanni Guido, at Villa Moresca, the summer residence of Ghira.
Rosaria died after a day and a half of torture, drowned in the bathtub. Donatella, in order to survive pretended to be dead and fought until the last day of her life for justice.
Ghira was never arrested, fled to Spain under an assumed name and enlisted in the Spanish legion.
Guido, after escaping from prison over and over again, served his sentence until 2009.
Izzo, after several escapes obtained the semi-liberty of which he took advantage to commit a double murder.
He is currently serving two life sentences in Campobasso prison.
This horror will go down in history as the Circeo Massacre.
