Truth can be better than fiction! Lights over Bellano, the Pietro Maso case and accidental bombing

Sometimes, things happen in life that makes you think: What the hell? How on earth did that happen? It was such an incident that inspired me to write the book "Lights over Bellano." The "thing that happened" in this instance was the case of Pietro Maso. In 1991, and in order to get what he considered to be his rightful inheritance, Pietro Maso murdered his parents.  The fact that the crime occurred in a town I lived in for 8 years made the story all the more fascinating. My opinion of the Veronese always centred around what I considered to be the superficial aspects of life, i.e. money, cars and fashion. Although, while in Italy, I learned to appreciate the importance of beauty in life, I never thought that it might go this far. Below is the link to an article about the case and a pic of Pietro Maso.
