Tragedy in Emilia (colour litho)

Tragedy in Emilia. While some Christian Democrats, gathered in a tavern in Colombaia, a hamlet of Carpineti, celebrated with a lunch the outcome of the votes for the mutual benefit of direct farmers, a criminal shot two from the outside shotgun shots. The first bullet wounded the student Gian Pio Longagnani and electrocuted the operator Giovanni Munarini; the second, following a strange trajectory, pierced a lung to the Afro Rossi driver who died shortly after, an arm to Professor Umberto Gandini and injured Longagnani in the chest. The crime caused the deepest impression in all of Italy. Illustration for Courier Sunday, 10 April 1955.
