CORRIDI, Filippo.
La Ghigliottina in Toscana,
in-16, pp. 78, broch. edit. (piccola mancanza al piatto ant.). Terza edizione ampliata e definitiva di opera curiosa e decisamente non comune. Filippo Corridi (Livorno 1806 - 1877) fu brillante matematico e autore di trattati di calcolo, geometria e trigonometria, precettore dei figli del Granduca Leopoldo II di Toscana e, a partire dal 1850, direttore delle Scuole Tecniche delle Arti e delle Manifatture su nomina del Granduca. In quest'opera l'A. si difende strenuamente dall'accusa di essere stato fautore dell'introduzione della ghigliottina in Toscana, discolpandosi attraverso la narrazione dei fatti, corredata dalle pubblicazione di documenti e note ufficiali. Nel codice criminale del Governo Toscano, si ripristinava, il 20 giugno 1853, la pena capitale. La ghigliottina, che era stata fatta giungere a Firenze dalla Francia in gran segreto, era stata imballata in casse con dicitura ''strumenti idraulici''. Tale particolare spinse diversi periodici piemontesi ad attribuire al Prof. Corridi la perorazione, l'acquisto e il montaggio dello strumento di morte. A fronte di tali calunniose asserzioni i Ministri toscani tacquero e l'A. avviò una sua propria indagine che ricostruisse la vicenda, grazie alla cui pubblicazione riuscì infine dimostrare la propria estraneità ai fatti ed a riabilitare il proprio buon nome. Buon esemplare, assai fresco.. .

PENA DI MORTE - TOSCANA
Codice Penale Toscano con le variazioni ordinate dalla legge 8 aprile 1856 ed i regolamenti degli stabilimenti di polizia punitiva. Terza Edizione con l'aggiunta dei decreti per l'abolizione della pena di morte e per la mitigazione delle pene e di una lettera del Prof. Fr. Carrara.
in-16, pp. (8), IV, 239, legatura coeva in m. marocchino bruno, titolo e filetti in oro al dorso. Terza edizione, ultima e più completa, del Codice Penale Toscano con varie aggiunte, tra le quali le leggi sulla abolizione della pena di morte. L'opera fu ristampata da Cammelli su consiglio di Carrara, che era fermamente convinto che il nuovo codice Penale Italiano si sarebbe dovuto ispirare principalmente al Penale Toscano, che già ai suoi tempi "era divenuto rarissima merce". Buon esemplare, sporadiche arrossature e note ms. marginali.. .

BECCARIA, Cesare.
Dei Delitti e delle Pene. Edizione sesta, di nuovo corretta ed accresciuta del Trattato de Tormentis, e delle meditazioni sopra la Felicità .
in-8, pp.336, antiporta allegorico fig. inc.(il rame ricalca con fedeltà quello originale del 1765), alle p. 190 e 196 fregi silografici con colomba con scettro e palma. Legatura coeva in perg. rigida, titolo su tassello al dorso. Edizione rara, probabilmente successiva alla ''sesta'' di Parigi 1766. Seguono il testo di Beccaria altre opere tra cui il ''de tormentis'', anonimo ma da attribuire a Salv. Venturini; il ''meditazioni sulla felicità'' è di Pietro Verri e appare qui per la prima volta. Nel testo della ''Risposta'' contro i Facchinei (pp. 191-275) i rimandi alle pagine del Dei delitti sono aggiornati, così non fu necessario allegare in fine un ''Avvertimento''. Esempl. assai bello.. Firpo n.10, pp.473-476. Firpo, Beccaria, n. 13..

SENTENZA DI MORTE,
Emanata dal Senato di S. M. in Torino Sedente nella causa del Fisco di questa CittÃ
in-4 (mm 194x125), pp.4. Carta vergellata. La prima pagina comprende la sentenza di morte proclamata in seguito alla tentata grassazione a danno di Teresa Santi vedova Donò con barbaro omicidio di Martino Ferello, suo servo, la sera dell'11 febbraio 1846, contro Boglietti Michele, di anni 27, di Bussolino di Gassino, oste; Fossati Giovanni Battista, di anni 30, di Racconigi, scalpellino; Fossati Pietro, 23 anni, di Fini di Pinerolo, scalpellino; Capriolo Giacomo, 27 anni, di Sommariva Perno, calzolaio e portinaio; Basano Andrea, di 31 anni, di Baldissero d'Alba, lisciatore di marmi; Gallo Giovanni Battista, di 38 anni, di S. Benedetto, contadino; Masante Antonia, di 30 anni, nata a Farigliano, indotata e moglie del Gallo. Nelle pagine seguenti la descrizione del malfatto e dell'omicidio: i cinque malviventi riescono a farsi aprire la porta in quanto due di loro travestiti da carabinieri, ma vengono subito smascherati dal servitore, che viene quindi ucciso crivellato da venticinque ferite inferte con due diversi coltelli. Il fatto avviene nella collina torinese, in Val Pattonera, presso la vigna di una villa. Pietro Fossati e Michele Boglietti sono condannati alla pena di morte. Michele Boglietti viene impiccato il giorno 16 giugno 1846 a Torino, con l'assistenza di San Giuseppe Cafasso e della Arciconfraternita della Misericordia di Torino. A differenza di molti altri condannati del periodo precedente al 1848, Michele Boglietti viene più volte ricordato dalla stampa, da svariate pubblicazioni agiografiche e dalla letteratura popolare. Il conte progressista Battista Giovanni Michelini gli dedica un articolo nel fascicolo del 15 agosto 1846 della rivista Letture di Famiglia, pubblicata da Lorenzo Valerio. Michele Boglietti è poi ricordato nelle biografie da San Giuseppe Cafasso, sia in quelle antiche che in quelle moderne, come quella di Aldo Cazzullo (I torinesi da Cavour a oggi, Roma 2002). Esemplare in buono stato di conservazione, lieve macchia di umido nel bordo superiore.. .

RELAZIONE DELLA SENTENZA DI MORTE
Eseguita in Napoli contro Domenico Capozzoli ed altri due suoi fratelli.
in-4 (mm 200 x 135), pp. 4. Carta vergellata. La relazione descrive la cattura dei tre fratelli malviventi, dopo la loro fuga in Corsica e il rientro nei loro luoghi natali: "I fratelli C., banditi del Cilento, furono creduti a torto martiri del Risorgimento, coi quali, se mai, ebbero a fare, quando gl'insorti cilentani del 1828, trovandosi a corto di forze, decisero di ricorrere a essi. Patrizio, Donato e Domenico Capozzoli, piccoli possidenti di Monteforte Cilento, essendosi dati alla macchia fin dagli anni giovanili, si trovavano compresi, per ordine del governo, nelle "liste di fuorbando" a causa dei molti e gravi delitti da essi consumati. Fallito il movimento, i C. riuscirono a salvarsi con un abile stratagemma e si ricoverarono a Livorno e poi in Corsica (18 settembre 1828). Il governo napoletano chiese alla Francia l'arresto e l'estradizione dei fuggiaschi; ma questi, prevedendo che sarebbero stati catturati, e ritenendosi più sicuri nei loro paesi che nell'isola ad essi sconosciuta, tornarono clandestinamente nel Regno e si diedero di nuovo a battere le campagne e i boschi. Per alcuni mesi il loro ritorno rimase ignoto alla polizia; ma nel marzo 1829 questa, avendo saputo della presenza dei C. nel Cilento, iniziò attive ricerche, che, col sussidio di un loro amico, portarono alla loro scoperta e al loro arresto nel villaggio di Perito. Una commissione militare li giudicò e condannò a morte. Furono fucilati a Palinuro il 27 giugno 1829". (Bibl.: M. Mazziotti, La rivolta del Cilento, Roma 1909, p. 44). Esemplare in buono stato di conservazione. . .
