1823ref. 789481823. Only Known Copy. Padua: Molinari 1823. 4 pp. Only Known Copy. Padua: Molinari 1823. 4 pp. He Killed Him With a Billhook Murder. Italy. Estratto Degli Inquisizionali Contro Baldassare Zotta Detto Morte Colpevole del Delitto di Omicidio Proditorio Consumato Nella Persona di Giammaria Zotta Bellotto il Dopo Panzo del 10 Luglio 1822 Redatto a Termini del .450 del Codice Penale Caption Title. Padua: Tip. Molinari 1823. 4 pp. Octavo 7-1/2" x 4-1/2". Later plain wrappers light soiling to exterior chipping to spine ends and corners moderate toning to interior. Rare. $450. A remarkable and apparently unique survival detailing the brutal murder of Giammaria Zotta Bellotto by his fellow townsman Baldassare Zotta a farm laborer from the Trento region harbored a deep-seated grievance against Bellotto holding him directly responsible for significant damages suffered by his family. On the afternoon dopo pranzo of July 10 1822 Zotta ambushed Bellotto from behind striking him repeatedly with a heavy billhook roncola until he was dead. The official report dryly notes that Zotta resorted to a ambush because Bellotto was physically much stronger and Zotta lacked the courage to confront him face-to-face. Zotta was charged under 450 of the Austrian Penal Code of 1803 which governed the territory of Trentino-Alto Adige during this era. The statute specifically defined omicidio proditorio treacherous or ambush murder-an aggravated form of homicide carrying mandatory capital punishment. Imprints of ephemeral legal extracts Inquisizionali printed in smaller provincial centers like Padua for regional trial proceedings were produced in extremely small quantities-primarily for court officers local magistracies and public notice-making survival of such broadsheets exceptionally rare.
