Last time on the Sicilian inheritance.

0:13

Who's who's that? What

0:15

is his job?

0:16

This job is to work for a

0:19

bird certificate here in the city hall.

0:21

So does he think he has

0:24

more records or no?

0:25

Yes, he stopped checking whether they have more writs

0:28

or no?

0:30

Will he exclaimed? What that book is?

0:33

The book?

0:33

Can we see it?

0:35

Libro?

0:43

So the book describes how everyone in town

0:45

died? Yes, when

0:48

when it died, when they died, and when it died. And it's

0:50

handwritten book. However, can

0:52

you look at it?

0:54

After being told there was no way I

0:56

was going to get to see the records we wanted.

0:58

You know, said privacy. Can bring

1:00

the Book's bring the Booklet's bring the book.

1:02

Here we are houring over a hundred

1:04

year old book of deaths,

1:06

the book from the year that my great

1:09

great grandmother, Lorenzo Marsala died.

1:13

Lorenzo Marsala. There's her name right there.

1:15

I see that. It says mother of paula,

1:18

wife of Antonino.

1:22

But does it say anything about how she died?

1:28

And her name is right there, not

1:30

in the section devoted to natural causes,

1:33

but the other section, the section in

1:35

the back of the book for so called unnatural

1:38

causes an accident

1:42

maybe or a

1:45

murder.

1:46

Okay, she didn't die at home

1:48

because war, maybe to an accident

1:52

vision that didn't report

1:55

the caustic.

1:55

Sectly why so much

1:57

information about where and not the why?

2:02

So we now know something did indeed

2:05

happen, but what exactly

2:08

and why? I'm

2:11

Joe Piazza from Kaleidoscope.

2:14

This is the Sicilian Inheritance, Chapter

2:17

three, the Book of Death.

2:31

M m hm.

2:37

I took a picture of the description so

2:39

we could have someone read it. I

2:43

feel like there's.

2:43

More than

2:44

they.

2:54

That's weird, that's weird, and

2:57

where and where.

2:59

Here in the commune sort of like

3:01

a city hall. I'm buzzing

3:04

with excitement. I'm pretty overwhelmed

3:06

right now, and also a little bit relieved

3:08

because I've dragged a lot of people to Sicily to

3:11

try to solve this murder, and at least now

3:13

we have some sort of clue. And also

3:15

because all of my other relatives who've come

3:17

here to try to see these records, this book

3:20

of deaths, they've been shut down,

3:22

like they literally had the book shut

3:24

right in front of them and were told to get the hell

3:27

out. But here I am just

3:29

looking at these yellowed fragile hand

3:32

written records from the year

3:34

nineteen sixteen. I even

3:36

sneaked a photo of the entry.

3:39

Probably wasn't supposed to do that. I

3:42

also have to say that I'm a little bit stunned

3:45

right now, because as much as I

3:47

wanted to believe that this story

3:49

was true, that something really

3:52

did happen to her, and that my family

3:54

didn't just make it all up, I

3:57

also didn't entirely believe

3:59

that she was ever murdered. The

4:02

town records keeper, Signor Grado.

4:04

He keeps calling her death an accident

4:07

where she died of unnatural causes.

4:13

The entry for Lorenzo's death record is confusing.

4:17

It's confusing to me because it contains

4:19

so much detail about

4:21

exactly where she died.

4:28

Says the area five kilometers

4:30

before entering lockdown on the left

4:32

side of the road. The air where

4:34

she died.

4:36

We know that it's about five kilometers

4:38

outside of town, around a

4:40

bend near the monument of the

4:42

Fallen Masses, near a place where

4:44

there may have been a landslide.

4:46

Signed up.

4:47

He suggested it to stop in a place where

4:50

she probably died that.

4:51

Area, but why she does that matter?

4:53

He thinks that she could have something

4:55

could have happened.

4:57

No, he's not he's not sure.

4:59

He's just trying to show us where should die. That would

5:01

be did we should stope died?

5:03

Just one's harms us see where should die?

5:06

Yeah, we should stop and to take a look on

5:08

the way back. On the way back, But

5:11

we.

5:12

Know nothing about how she died.

5:14

There's not a single word in there about

5:17

the cause of death. I

5:19

am someone who has gone through police

5:21

reports as a reporter, and I

5:23

have never seen a death

5:26

record that doesn't say something

5:29

about how someone died. And

5:32

so it seems like whoever got the privilege

5:35

of writing in Longhand the particulars

5:37

of this death didn't

5:40

think it was important to put down

5:42

the cause of death, or

5:45

was someone important in the town covering

5:48

this up? Is there a reason

5:51

this information is left out of the entry.

5:54

Sometimes the things that are missing are

5:57

just as important as the things that

5:59

are there.

6:00

I have an idea. I have an idea.

6:02

While we're here, we have another thread

6:04

to investigate.

6:05

So, yeah, we're trying to figure out if she was a midwife.

6:07

So can we see if she delivered any babies or

6:09

was present at the birth of babies. But this

6:12

theory comes out of my dad's belief that

6:14

Lorenza may have been a

6:17

witch. And when I say which, I

6:19

mean a healer or perhaps

6:21

a midwife in the village. The

6:24

idea that maybe when she was

6:26

assisting in a birth or trying to

6:28

heal a sick child, that

6:30

child didn't make it, and

6:33

maybe one of the babies died or the mothers

6:36

died, and that maybe she was killed

6:38

because someone was angry about that.

6:41

So we went back a little bit. We started going through birth

6:43

records. In birth records, they

6:45

also contain a lot of information

6:48

about place and who was

6:50

present at a birth, including

6:53

sometimes the name of the midwife

6:55

who helped assist with the birth.

6:57

Can you ask him, ask

7:00

him and we can see the the like

7:02

a few months before, if there was a baby.

7:04

If a baby died, or a mother died.

7:07

Okay, So I'm wondering if we could.

7:08

Start actually to see if she was present at

7:10

any births. So I'm thinking,

7:12

if there's any truth in the story

7:14

of Lorenzo's death being linked

7:16

to the death of a child, then maybe

7:19

we can find the death record of a child

7:21

in the months leading up to the day

7:23

that she died, and that would

7:26

let us go back and see if

7:28

she was the midwife. Now he's looking

7:30

to see if a baby died.

7:36

We ask Senior Gatto to look for records

7:38

of the death of a child.

7:41

But I know there's a lot of deaths, but this

7:43

was in February.

7:44

Will he just look, Just

7:46

look January February

7:49

for a baby.

7:50

Just just that.

7:53

Gena BAMBINII

7:58

less than a year mom, So.

8:00

Just January fab of this year. I

8:06

write that.

8:18

Quanto quaranta

8:25

quan forty forty fifty.

8:27

And you can't find any records of any child

8:29

dying in nineteen sixteen when

8:31

Lorenzo died, or the year prior.

8:35

One more.

8:38

But because we just keep pushing, We're like,

8:40

let's just keep looking, Let's keep looking. He

8:42

flips back to the page where Lorenzo's

8:45

death record is and he

8:47

stops.

8:51

Senior Grotto is like, this is

8:53

big, a big

8:56

question.

8:58

But is it a baby?

9:00

No, no, a man, not a baby.

9:02

So start.

9:05

I didn't say febrio a

9:08

lega trend.

9:10

The same day.

9:14

This is her.

9:15

Yeah, you

9:18

think they're connected, even as the man.

9:20

He thinks they're connected.

9:21

Martino Niccolo Martino.

9:23

Niccolo Martino is the name of Niccolo,

9:26

last name Niccolo.

9:28

On that same day that myle

9:30

Lorenza died, there's

9:32

another unnatural death, the

9:34

death of a man named Niccolo

9:37

Martino.

9:38

Martino Noma bensus. Why does the

9:43

same day at the same time. So maybe

9:46

same places at Testrano, but.

9:47

You can turn to the quest RT. That's

9:51

unusual because there weren't so many

9:53

deads the same day in a small town like

9:56

this in nineteen sixteen.

9:57

That's the same place Costellos.

10:00

So then, my

10:10

god,

10:17

why would they be murdered together?

10:20

He looks closer, but I can barely

10:22

follow along in the Italian And what he's

10:25

explaining is that this man, this Nicolo

10:27

Martino, who I have never heard of,

10:30

not only died on the same day as

10:32

Lorenza, but in

10:34

the same spot at

10:37

essentially the same exact

10:40

time.

10:40

Who is this guy? We

10:44

have to get this exact name, the

10:47

husband

10:52

ten.

10:52

O'clock they came to register this debt.

10:54

Okay, okay,

11:01

at all, we only

11:03

know the same location and the same yeah

11:06

day, Olga

11:14

mortaala.

11:20

Not natural death for the both of death.

11:31

Nicolo Martino,

11:34

who are you? Niccolo Martino?

11:38

He was aged seventy one, and

11:40

we know, like Lorenzo, he did not die

11:42

a natural death. Now, this entry

11:45

again very thorough about

11:47

where this happened, less

11:49

information about how this man

11:52

died, but it

11:54

does list his wife, ji Seppa

11:57

Marsala, And I'm pretty sure

12:00

at this point that Giuseppa

12:02

was the sister of my Lorenza.

12:05

Marito di Marcella.

12:06

Giusep Yespa, Giuseppa

12:09

Massana, the sister of Lorenza, sister

12:17

of.

12:19

The same day.

12:23

You hear me saying there that they were murdered

12:25

on the same day, and maybe it was a crime

12:27

of passion. I mean, come

12:29

on, Lorenza died with her

12:32

brother in law, her sister's

12:34

husband. What is happening

12:37

here?

12:37

Who is this guy that she was killed?

13:02

You hear that?

13:03

Do you hear that?

13:04

That's the gentle lapping of the Mediterranean

13:06

Sea on the fine golden sand.

13:09

By the magic of podcasting, you can almost

13:12

feel the heat of the sun, the cool of the

13:14

water, and the smell of the orange blossoms.

13:17

Now with a few short clicks, you

13:19

can taste it too, because

13:21

we have actually imported the finest Sicilian

13:23

olive oil. Inspired by this very

13:25

podcast, We've partnered

13:28

with Philadelphia's own Cardanus Gourmet

13:32

inheritance olive oil, a flavor

13:35

journey from the volcanic soil of ancient

13:37

groves through special tear wir

13:40

that family secrets and inherited

13:42

stories provide. It's

13:44

got a taste of fresh off the vine, tomatoes

13:47

and a hint of almonds. You can

13:49

get your own bottle today at Cardanis

13:51

Taproom. Check the show notes for the

13:54

link and all the details to buy. It's

13:56

not only an incredible olive oil, but it

13:59

will completely transport you

14:01

to the beautiful and sometimes

14:03

dangerous island of Sicily.

14:06

So please do check out the show notes now and

14:09

thank you. Also enjoy

14:12

with something delicious.

14:21

That was a surprise.

14:32

Let me translate that for you. That's

14:34

our trustee, Chiro, the Piazza

14:36

family's Sicilian guide and fixer,

14:39

admitting that in all of these

14:41

years that we have been telling him this family

14:44

story about the murder of Lorenzo, he

14:46

never believed it. But

14:49

maybe maybe now,

14:52

maybe, especially now that there

14:54

is this other dude involved, this Nicolo

14:57

Martino. Now Ciro's bought

14:59

in, and and why wouldn't he be.

15:01

We have proof that someone else

15:04

died at the same place, at

15:06

the same time, on the side of a road

15:09

about five kilometers outside

15:11

of town with my bis biss

15:13

Nona Lorenza Marsala. So

15:16

yeah, Chiero has finally bought into this story

15:19

for the first time in twenty years, and

15:22

I gotta say so have I

15:25

I am in it. We

15:28

don't have a ton of time to consider any

15:30

of this as we say goodbye to Senior Grotto,

15:33

who really wants to close up for the day. The records

15:36

are only open for a couple hours at a time,

15:38

say to me, Chao Chou,

15:41

and Chiro has made us other appointments. He

15:47

wants us to meet the mayor of the town to

15:50

shake his hand and thank him for

15:52

the access to the records, which is the polite

15:54

thing to do. And

15:58

then we also have to have our life

16:00

unch because being fed is a very

16:02

big deal in Sicily, and

16:09

the mayor has called the one restaurant

16:11

in town and asked to make sure that

16:13

they would be open for us and ready for what

16:16

will definitely become an eight course meal.

16:19

So we hop in the car we're gonna watch. We're

16:21

still reeling this other guy is really

16:24

what what?

16:26

Like?

16:27

Why was she like?

16:28

That's why why was she with some

16:30

dude? And so we know

16:33

she didn't die in a hospital of natural causes.

16:35

She was in the other side of the book.

16:37

She was in the other side of the bo that said not not natural,

16:39

not natural causes, some kind

16:42

of accident in quotes

16:44

with some dude at the same time, Why would

16:47

why like, what kind of accident kills two

16:49

people? Kills two people? There weren't They're not like

16:51

people didn't really have cars in nineteen six a

16:54

little bit outside town. Well

16:57

kind of accident would kill two people outside

16:59

town. And it seems like he might

17:03

have been like her sisters, like her brother in

17:05

law, her brother in law, her sister's

17:08

husband. The

17:10

plot thickens. This is the other church

17:13

right here, that's a cathedral. This is

17:15

where I put my dad's ashes right here, right

17:17

up there. Hi dad, sho.

17:22

We're parking here, we're walking.

17:23

Up yea, yeah, okay,

17:25

maybe it's better to be good.

17:28

Yeah.

17:29

We had to climb some really steep cobblestone

17:32

roads to get to the best and

17:34

only restaurant in town. It's

17:36

Mates M. A. T. E. S. Highly

17:39

recommend it. By the way, Oh my god,

17:41

so beautiful. We

17:44

enter into a cool interior lined

17:47

with old farming tools and olive

17:49

oil press equipment. The walls

17:51

are painted cobalt blue. It

17:54

feels like we're in a cave or a cellar,

17:56

and it definitely feels like we just

17:58

walked back a hundred year years ago.

18:01

So the Mayor I

18:03

want to make sure we

18:06

got here.

18:08

Everyone at this table is very eager

18:10

to follow up on this insane new

18:13

bombshell and also go to the

18:15

place where we now know that Lorenzo

18:18

was killed. But again,

18:21

this is Sicily, and what

18:24

is an Italian murder investigation without

18:26

a very very long

18:29

lunch?

18:30

Should we start with appetizer that If.

18:33

You thought we weren't going to do the big Sicilian

18:35

lunch scene in this podcast, you

18:37

were very wrong, my friends.

18:40

After we have two kinds of pasta, But when

18:42

is the result too with zucchinis,

18:45

peppers, mushrooms and means

18:47

and the other pasta is us

18:50

with the statos. Usually

18:54

we do starters and pasta and after we

18:56

ask you.

18:59

If you.

19:02

Part of Before we're all sitting

19:05

at this long table. There's

19:07

no menu, no menu. They're

19:09

just going to bring us delicious things to

19:11

eat and to drink a lot

19:14

of things to drink.

19:16

It for you, it's good start to passa and

19:18

after we will ask you if you're still angry?

19:20

Yeah, perfect, would.

19:22

You like wine?

19:22

Also Winles or else?

19:25

Kate and I are sitting with Chiro and

19:28

Ettore, our other translator,

19:30

and my cousin. Yeah. Did I not mention

19:33

that my cousin, Laura on my

19:35

dad's side, is here, visiting

19:38

all the way from Scranton.

19:40

And if you remember Laura, she's

19:42

the one that told me she was inside the

19:44

church in Kaltabalota looking

19:46

for Lorenzo's records years ago

19:49

when it was struck by lightning. Basically,

19:52

Laura moved to Sicily because she's working on

19:54

getting her Italian citizenship. So

19:57

of course Chiro is helping her because he helps

19:59

every member of my family do all the things.

20:02

And of course when I told her we were coming

20:04

to count of Blota, she pretty much

20:06

just invited herself along along with her

20:08

husband, who's a really nice guy that i'd never

20:10

met.

20:12

Keep cheese month six months

20:14

old dry with

20:23

bread

20:28

crum cappers and.

20:31

Cheese and.

20:36

The miracle.

20:38

Did you know it?

20:42

That's good?

20:43

That looks great. I'm

20:45

gratzy, tier welcome. We

20:48

just dig right in.

20:53

At this wine

20:55

is delightful, and so I'm shoveling food in my

20:57

mouth while I'm telling everyone

21:00

what happened in the records office. So

21:03

we discovered new information. We

21:06

actually, we actually did detective work. And

21:08

of course everyone has their

21:10

own theory, and

21:12

this is how my family has always swapped bits

21:15

of Lorenzo story over a meal

21:17

at a family dinner or a wedding or

21:19

a funeral. But this time is

21:22

really different. This time

21:24

I'm in her hometown, just

21:27

yards away from the home where

21:29

she lived, and now

21:32

I know, just five kilometers

21:34

away from where she died.

21:39

Bullet right,

21:44

that's weird.

21:45

So probably being killed together,

21:49

right, he will seventy one?

21:51

See, maybe some maybe

22:03

it's it's too weird. H

22:06

that feels significant like this now

22:09

feels like it's more impossible. Yes, it

22:12

feels it feels way more possible that it was murder.

22:14

Yeah, we're only on the pasta course

22:17

at this moment yet,

22:22

and I have to tell you what it is, because that

22:24

would just be cruel if I didn't. There's

22:26

also a busiata al pistachio.

22:29

It's these perfectly tender little tendrils

22:31

of pasta mixed with minced pistachio

22:34

and almonds and then simmered with slices

22:37

of pork.

22:37

Cheek so unusual.

22:40

That was amazing.

22:42

There's also a raviolo with a

22:44

white sausage Ragou. I

22:46

think there might be truffles involved.

22:48

It tastes a little a little.

22:50

Truffly, which Puss

22:52

you prefer.

22:54

It's that.

22:58

Over lunch. As much as we want to talk about it,

23:00

we are having a hard time fitting the

23:02

new information about Nicolo Martino,

23:05

who we think is Lorenzo's brother in law

23:07

and possibly her lover, into

23:10

the theories that we already know.

23:13

If she was killed with her brother in law, does

23:16

that invalidate the theory that

23:19

she was killed because someone wanted her

23:21

to sell her land, or does

23:23

it bolster it was he just an innocent

23:25

bystander. Does it invalidate

23:28

the idea that she was a midwife

23:31

or a healer, or the entire

23:34

mafia theory? Or

23:36

is this just another layer? Is this just

23:38

more proof that someone else was

23:41

caught up in this crime. And

23:44

then my cousin Laura chimes in and

23:46

adds yet another layer that

23:49

complicates this entire thing.

23:51

That's the other piece of the all. Yeah, my

23:54

grandfather's.

23:54

Sharing remembers when

23:57

her mother got call and to pick him

23:59

up and had him in Then he was home, so

24:07

I said, okay, So was that the story

24:10

that was that's revenge

24:12

and got.

24:12

Lost or was it just okay,

24:15

I'm so sorry. Here, maybe recording

24:18

while you're eating a multi course lunch

24:20

and drinking all of the wine, maybe it's

24:22

not the best time to get clean audio. But

24:25

we're in Sicily, and frankly, you're on my family

24:27

trip here, so let me help you understand

24:30

what we're talking about. Laura starts

24:32

talking about a particular wrinkle to

24:34

our family story that I haven't

24:36

told you about yet.

24:38

Right now, fast forward, they

24:41

hit a lost brother.

24:42

This one is more of a whisper than a

24:44

wrinkle that got passed around in

24:47

snippets, and maybe even with

24:49

more shame than Lorenza's actual

24:52

death.

24:52

Now here's where it gets interesting

24:55

and dicey as well. And

24:58

this I can tell you first hand because

25:01

I remember this.

25:02

Sharon, my second cousin. Laura's

25:05

cousin, tells it best because

25:07

she was there when the family actually

25:10

found out about this. It was

25:12

the seventies and Sharon was in her

25:14

parents' kitchen.

25:15

My mother gets a phone call at her house

25:19

and said, there is a man here. It's

25:22

some sort of mental health facility.

25:25

He claims he is your

25:28

uncle, but he's

25:30

very He's not

25:33

normal, he's having problems mental

25:35

health issues.

25:36

Sharon's mother Rose gets

25:38

a call from a hospital saying that her

25:40

uncle Joseph, her father Santo's

25:43

brother, meaning one of Lorenzo's

25:46

other sons, is at the hospital

25:48

and needs to get picked up.

25:50

So they asked my mother if

25:52

she would be willing to go get him.

25:55

As Sharon remembers, they go

25:57

get him and.

25:58

They brought him to my house.

26:00

No one has heard of this guy for years,

26:03

maybe even decades. She had

26:05

no idea who he was. And

26:08

he tells his version of the story,

26:10

and this.

26:11

Is honestly all I remember.

26:13

He claims that following his mother,

26:15

Lorenza's murder, he and

26:18

his brothers, who were back in America, drew

26:20

straws for who would return

26:23

to Sicily and avenge her

26:25

death. And he claims that

26:27

he was the one who drew the short straw

26:30

and went back and murdered whoever

26:33

killed his mother.

26:34

And he was the brother that supposedly

26:36

went back and killed the black

26:38

hand.

26:39

All I know is he ran in the head.

26:42

Mm hmm.

26:43

I remember hearing Diddy was hiding

26:46

in Italy, running in the Woods, striving

26:48

to survive in Sicily.

26:51

He was like on the lamb

26:53

for his whole life, right,

26:56

don't know when he came or how we

26:58

came to this country.

27:00

It sounds like a mob movie, but

27:03

this guy really did re emerge

27:05

in their lives in the seventies,

27:08

and Sharon was there.

27:09

And honestly, Joe, I don't know what

27:12

happened after that. I

27:14

don't I don't know what

27:16

happened. I don't know if he disappeared again or

27:19

he went back in the hospital. I don't

27:22

know.

27:25

I don't know either. And this is

27:27

where the idea of a vendetta gets

27:29

turned up to eleven. I

27:32

mean, it's almost too cinematic for me. Look,

27:34

I am a storyteller and I am a novelist, but like,

27:37

I don't know if I were to write this shit. But

27:40

here we are in the town

27:43

where I was told that she was killed, and

27:46

now it seems like maybe it's even

27:48

shaping up to be a double

27:51

homicide. So maybe

27:54

the part about this lost brother going

27:57

back to avenge or death, maybe

28:00

that's true too.

28:01

Yeah, was he just unwell? Did he make it up because

28:04

he was crazy?

28:05

My cousin Laura again.

28:06

Actually, so this is how our aunts were. They

28:09

didn't even talk about that, even

28:13

when you know they were telling the stories. I think

28:15

it was like the very very end of Anna's

28:18

life and somebody brought it up

28:20

and I said, what are you talking about? And

28:23

I remember Anana saying, Okay, she's old enough. We

28:25

could probably tell him now because they didn't

28:27

even talk about that aspect

28:30

of it.

28:41

Mm hmmmm.

28:51

This podcast is we're going to figure it out.

28:53

We met a gentleman and Trapta,

28:57

and he said, I told him the reason

28:59

that we coming here today, and he said, let

29:02

it alone.

29:02

There's so mafia.

29:04

He said, you just need to let it alone.

29:08

All right, Okay, all

29:11

right, so yeah, yeah,

29:13

he's just like, you don't need done. Yeah, you don't need to

29:15

scrape at old wounds.

29:16

There's still there's still mafia out there. You just

29:19

need to let it alone.

29:23

Yeah, maybe I should let it go, Let

29:26

the sleeping dogs lie, let

29:28

the wounds heal. Yeah,

29:33

but I'm not going to next

29:36

time on the Sicilian inheritance.

29:38

Oh, I don't think we did come in on that.

29:39

We're going to the scene of the crime.

29:41

We're searching, all right. So now now we're

29:43

searching for the spot where she was

29:45

murdered. Senior Grotto

29:47

was very specific about where it was.

29:49

What did what did? Detail by detail?

29:52

So what did he tell us.

29:53

Tell about this place where there's

29:55

this fountain kind of found somewhere the

29:58

caddles horses is five.

30:01

Kilometers outside of side.

30:03

What do you think they were doing out here?

30:06

Was this the farm had been out here? Well, that's what

30:08

I want to know.

30:09

Do you think that was her land?

30:11

Oh?

30:11

My god?

30:11

If she was killed on the land, then

30:14

there's a house down there. I feel like

30:16

this is the part in Cereal where they go to

30:18

Best Buy.
