The subject in question is one of those hot topics:

"New Mysteries of Italy"

Or rather, directly from "Blu Notte", here are reported on paper nine of the many "dark" cases for which, even today, there seems to be no solution, or rather, the solution might exist, but so intentionally (perhaps?) covered up that it results in a real unsolvable puzzle.

Lucarelli (scary, huh?) meticulously describes the events, with fast-paced and never soporific writing, of what have been the greatest enigmas in the history of Italy:

The bandit Giuliano, his raids in Sicily, his army that holds and "mocks" all the armed forces, the massacre of the Portella plain, then we find the murder (or suicide?) of Wilma Montesi, a strange story linked to politics, the mysterious Ustica massacre, the DC9 "vanished" from radar traces on the Bologna - Palermo route, the crash into the sea, the carcass of a Libyan fighter jet found on the Sila plateau...

The intricate case of Alceste Campanile, a militant of the extra-parliamentary left, found dead near Parma, the chilling saga of the "Monster of Florence" (or "monsters"), of which everyone is aware, macabre and gruesome murders on the outskirts of Florence that started on September 14, 1974 (I was 25 days old at that date, so it couldn't have been me!), the strange story of the agents killed Antonino Agostino and Emanuele Piazza.

The complicated Pasolini murder, the killing of one of the most brilliant minds of the last century, but at whose hands? Even today, the case is shrouded in darkness. The murder of journalist Beppe Alfano, who knew too much and only wanted to tell the truth, a story of the mafia, and finally, the chronicle of one of the most cruel massacres in the history of terrorism, the Bologna massacre, the bomb at the station, August 2, 1980..

If you want to document yourself on the "dark" history of Italy, this and the previous one, "Mysteries of Italy", are what you need: the stories are thrilling, fully engaging the reader without ever lowering the attention.

There is no culprit and, I believe, there never will be.

They are dark, intricate stories full of unconfessable secrets that Lucarelli doesn't reveal, but leaves to the reader's imagination.

They are dark, gloomy, mysterious stories, real mysteries.. But unfortunately, they really happened..

SCARED?
