"O that Leone was not an engineer seized solfataras? Asked.
He, and is a rare case, because, in general, the robbers meet strangers, but Leo, who was a robber, extortionist, a type special, had no scruples. Mr. John Rose, the engineer you speak English, he was arrested Friddi Lerch, a country of sulphation in 1876. And how did you feel: 13 November of that year, Mr. Rose wrote to his people Lercara the next day in the morning, would Statoil.
" Once in the vicinity of the cliffs where the groom had disappeared for a moment, they saw, suddenly, the bandit comes out with his two lieutenants Leone Salpietro e Randazzo i quali s'impadronirono dell'ingegnere. Il traditore era stato di certo il palafrenie “ Quella mattina il capo della banda s'era vestito con gran cura, s'era fatto la barba e ravviato i capelli con un garbo speciale; anche per un brigante come lui, il sequestrare un gentleman era un'avventura straordinaria. Infatti compi quella faccenda proprio correttamente e con garbo, raccomandando a' suoi selvaggi compagni d'usar buone maniere, d'esser educati e cortesi. Arrivò fino a sgridare seriamente il feroce Randazzo, il quale s'era fatto lecito d' inviare una palla ad uno del seguito del signor Rose che fuggiva.”
“ Un certo signor Nicolosi, compagno di cattivitĂ al signor John, volle profittare good provisions of the robber to let him know that the sum of £ 100,000 asking a ransom for Mr. Rose, was too strong for his family. "How is it done? - Said Leone - are forced to get my transactions to keep me more employees of the Italian Government. "
" Nicolosi was not really a wedding, the terrible Salpietro standogli if sent him first at his heels. The unfortunate haunted by fear, unfortunately justified, to receive back, at any moment, a stab or a musket ball; So he turned and said, in an effort to draft a nice smile: "If permitted, gentleman, you will walk willingly beside the engineer, so we'll talk a little and the journey would seem less long. "
" But the robber gave him a look so fierce, motioning with a gesture of rows straight, not that one wanted to repeat the question. They were a bit ahead when Leo bailed Nicolosi, who did not need to be told twice. "
" The engineer and robbers they continued to walk through the mountains and solitary Caltavuturo Santa Maria, stopping then to Commisini in a pile of rocks in the middle of a forest. There was talk of redemption after he had contracted and pulled a piece, Leo finally agreed to 4000 lire, and after long days of slavery, Mr. Rose was able to return to review his, and he is still in Lercara
...." "Those were times of plenty for the bandits. With pockets full of gold, they went with the utmost indifference to an ambush, followed by a fierce battle, at a conference of love, sometimes even three bands gathered together to accomplish important tasks! "
" The leaders, however, fiercely hated, the rivalry and jealousy between the famous Lion and the no less notorious Pasquale came to the point where we peered continually shaking hunting with a thousand dangers and a thousand tricks. Then one day she receives from her enemy Leone a shot almost at point blank range and that, believing him dead, did not even give him the trouble of the coup de grace. But the robber had a thick skin, and although the wish of months to get back on their legs healed perfectly, but then how many ambushes, how cunning, how many tricks to surprise the enemy and ruthless duel that was! Leone had won at the end; retaliated so horrible and Easter fell mortally wounded ...."
In the afternoon the engineer took me to see the Capuchin church, on the edge of the esplanade, which is located Caltanissetta.
