UN COLD CASE SICILIANO. Antonella Falcidia.

Catania is a city that changes its appearance at night. The streets empty, Mount Etna remains there, motionless, like a presence watching everything from above. On one of those evenings, in an elegant apartment on Via Rosso di San Secondo, something suddenly breaks. The house is tidy, the lights dim, the silence absolute. Antonella Falcidia is alone in the living room. No one hears screams, no one sees suspicious movements. Yet someone enters, approaches, and strikes with a violence that knows no logic or measure. More than twenty blows, rapid, close together. Then nothing. No stolen objects, no forced doors, no traces indicating a stranger. When the scene is discovered, it almost seems constructed to silence: a body lying on the floor, an intact living room, a crime that offers no basis. The first hours of the investigation are spent in darkness. There are few footprints, too many hypotheses. A small shoe, perhaps a woman's. Silent phone calls in the days leading up to it. An anonymous letter. A foreign servant who becomes a suspect and then disappears from the picture. And finally, years later, the husband, dragged in and out of the investigation like a shadow that never finds its definitive form. Every lead seems to promise a truth and then dissolve. Every clue opens a path that leads nowhere. Catania continues to live beneath the volcano, but that living room remains a blind spot in the city's memory. A domestic crime without motive, without a weapon, without a culprit. A mystery that, decades later, has still not found its voice.
