A crime of the heart? |
Zannone. A beautiful Mediterranean island. Italian. Warm
waters ebb and flow. Overhead, an azure sky. In the 60s, the Marquis Camillo
Casati Stampa di Soncino, or just Casati Stampa, leased the island.
His villa was the scene of endless parties, replete with orgies. There was a 'hidden mirror room' where the marquis and friends would watch sex sessions, many involving his wife, who often swam naked with guests.
His wife. Anna Fallarino, an actress searching for a different stage. Off to Zannone. Lots of lovers. A cache of nude photos. And more and more.
But then, what? Call it love. Massimo Minorenti, student/porn
actor, a regular sex partner, captured her heart. And they met off the
island—an extremely dangerous adventure.
Rome. August 1970. Enter Casati Stampa with a shotgun. Six
shells. Three for Fallarino. Two for Minorenti. And the final one for himself.
All gone.
A crime of passion? Hardly. Sexual jealousy is no substitute
for a crime of the heart.
Today, Zannone is in ruins. At night, wild sheep sleep under
their indigo sheets, unheeding the whispering surf with its tales of the pain of pleasure.
