moreThe trial was instructed by the provincial court of Vicenza in the years 1831-1833, after the murder of Giovanni Rama, a young peasant of Durlo, a small village of Lessini mountains. The main defendants were Lucia Graizzaro, Giovanni Rama's wife, and her presumed lover. Bernardo Marchesini, a south tyrolese judge, managed the trial, together his colleagues until the severe sentence against the presumed murderer, but Lucia Graizzaro was released for the inadequacy of the proofs alleged against her. Lucia's character is very interesting and provided of some modern traits.
