subject date: 2004-10-18

caption: MURRI TRIAL Linda Murri (Teodolinda Murri, 12 September 1871 – 4 December 1957) behind bars in the defendants' cell during the trial that gripped the news at the time. The woman was accused, and found guilty, of having commissioned her husband's murder; she was sentenced to 10 years in prison, from which she was pardoned the following year as a sign of gratitude from Vittorio Emanuele III towards her father, who had saved Princess Mafalda from typhus. Her brother Tullio, a self-confessed perpetrator, served 17 years; her accomplice Pio Naldi served 14; Rosina Bonetti, convicted of aiding and abetting with a reduced sentence due to semi-mental infirmity, was transferred from prison to a mental asylum; Carlo Secchi, the woman's accomplice and lover, died in prison in 1910. An intrigue developed in the Bologna-bene environment, which saw two families of opposing ideologies united by an incautious marriage that resulted in a murder plotted under the odor of shady relations, the Murri case was the subject of the first great popular trial with media resonance of the 20th century, held in Turin with a sentence of 11 August 1905; the proceedings involved the bourgeois family of the famous university professor Augusto Murri (1841 - 1932), a progressive republican, father of the defendants Linda and Tullio. Photograph, Turin, 1905.
