Case #16

homicide with premeditation

Case Description

Geronimo Barbaran, having been displeased with Vicenzo Godi for reasons (as contained in the case file), gathered together in his house all the Barbarans, relatives and friends, bravos and hired killers; and there made provision of bread, wine, arquebuses, all with the aim of taking unlawful and violent revenge for what had happened between him and Vicenzo Goli. On Palm Sunday, he went to the street of St. Apelle, directly confronting the person of Piero Goli, son of Vicenzo; with many of his relatives to commit some act against him, and in such a way that it resulted in the death of others with several persons involved, partly in the quarrel of his brother, together with the Soleri and Cesare Ferramosca, all of them remaining armed with arquebuses.
