This is why so many acts of violence in Italy assumed fantastic forms. Even the country folk showed an infernal art in the execution of their vendette. To serve the flesh of children up to their fathers at a meal of courtesy is mentioned, for example, as one mode of wreaking vengeance in country villages.
Hereupon began a series of reciprocal murders between the two families, and within a month thirty-six persons were killed, women as well as men. And such 'vendette, handed down from father to son, and extending to friends and distant relations, were not limited to the lower classes, but reached to the highest.
The foundation of its fortune lay in the remarkable fruitfulness of the family; Francesco's father, Jacopo, himself a celebrated man, had twenty brothers and sisters, all brought up roughly at Cotignola, near Faenza, amid the perils of one of the endless Romagnole 'vendette' between their own house and that of the Pasolini.
