The sound of horses' hooves echoed through the narrow streets of the country half asleep.
From " isportellittos " narrowed, suspicious eyes followed the passage of two Police officers on horseback just arrived from Seneghe.
How did the usual tour of the country before going to house the horses in a ground floor room used as a stable, in the palace that several years after it was used as the Town Hall.
Once settled the horse "knows Force" as it was called in those parts, the Carabinieri, would move on foot in town the village of Bonarcanto to do as little noise as possible and not to alarm those who were working to break this or that law.
As the distillation of abuse " S'abbardente " for example, that broke the ban on state monopolies, but in the villages of Montiferru was common practice to occur at home with the help of a copper pot still at the place 'inside of a large tank full of cold water and connected to a hermetically sealed metal container full of wine that evaporates and cools the first then to step inside of the still, would produce a potent liqueur, drop by drop to near 60 ° is called " Abbardente " as literally translated from the equivalent English " Aguardiente .
Bonarcanto That day the service was entrusted to two military vintage men unlikely given the age and size, with the burden of the obstacle formed by hard riding boots and divided into thick woolen fabric, would be able to do the full round of patrol.
In the late summer of 1917 the demand for men valid for the Front had reduced the staff of small barracks Seneghe only three elements. Brigadier commander of the station and note the almost sixty-two policemen who were preparing to carry out periodic routine check "on Miraculu Idd'e know." Once
to care for the horses, were left outside for a moment, dazzled by the sun that had risen in the meantime completely and is starting to feel its warmth. It was in early September and the autumn rains were still far away, the walls of houses and cobblestone streets still found it hard to cool down at night and the heat issue that helped to keep the hood hot already weighed down early in the morning the village.
Therefore, both wiping the sweat from his face and neck with a large handkerchief, the two Police officers traveled only a few hundred feet before putting on the coolness of the dark and inviting " Ziller " of Antoniccu Sarteddu.
On Ziller was a room located under the street level and above had the owner's house with which to communicate via a wooden staircase. A Bonarcanto was the only meeting point where we were going to spend that little money that sometimes you receive for payment of any working day, the sale of pork or some of a few liters of abbardente .
was not stocked, anzi praticamente oltre al vino rosso o bianco si poteva trovare della Vernaccia giusto nei giorni della festa della madonna di Bonacatu, dell’anice che veniva consumato a quartini e bevuto in minuscoli bicchierini e s’abbardente che però veniva venduta sottobanco perché vietata dalla legge.
A volte Antoniccu per invogliare i suoi scarsi clienti offriva qualche piatto di “fae a landinu” in modo da stimolare la sete e farli spendere di più ma, a onor del vero con scarsi risultati vista la miseria in cui versavano la maggior parte dei bonarcantesi, sia per le croniche condizioni di scarsità di risorse sia per le requisizioni e i conseguenti razionamenti imposti dallo Stato in war against Austria - Hungary.
The two Carabinieri descended the few steps, lowering his head to avoid the low lintel of the door and trachyte approached the marble counter where the manager was waiting for them with both hands resting, arms outstretched and a quizzical expression face.
- Health Antoniccu, what you tell me? - Said one of them approached the counter and taking off his shoulder for the '91 model rifle leaning against the nearest wall.
- Contos de piscadore Pagu and piss! - said on zilleràiu instinctively, forgetting that the two military were "continental " a few years in Sardinia and had not had time to become familiar in the Sardinian dialect much less in their jurisdiction. In fact, besides Seneghe Bonarcanto and also served in three dialects Milis and had nothing in common with each other.
He corrected himself immediately, saying - what you can give? - Almost as if he had a variety of choice as to satisfy any desire.
One of the two soldiers were from racing because of it is born in the island and transferred to tiny Piedmont, had still retained some relatives in France who frequently came to visit. Jacques Pastorelli was his name and during his visits across the Alps had taken a liking to local practice in alcohol-flavored anise and started this fashion also his colleague Gambrelli Aristide, Romagna, which until then was devoted only to Lambrusco.
Pastorelli was then to order two glasses with a little 'anise-extended fresh water that has always Pastorelli was a very refreshing drink.
Antoniccu with a grin as he prepared ordinatogli. He took two glasses among the least dirty, chipped and in a moment he had prepared the potion that began before his first customers of the day.
After taking a generous swig Gambrelli said the drink - I heard about your son Matthew. They told me that he fell in the Karst behaving like a hero and that will probably be awarded the gold medal at the value! You will be proud! -
Antoniccu Sarteddu was a thin but strong man, with two large hands gnarled fingers, thin graying hair who came despite having only 45 years old and big drooping mustache. Blacks turned his eyes watery and the policeman said, sighing - Sure. I am proud that the military has taken my only son and give me back a medal. I will be very useful to help me at work and support my family! - Simultaneously turned and began to tinker with the carboys to hide behind the lucciconi that fell from his eyes at the thought of her only son 18 years dead and buried in a distant land.
The boys of '99 they called them. With their just turned 18 years were enrolled in order to revitalize an army that had lost hundreds of thousands of men. A Bonarcanto were a dozen of those 99 and they were all gone. Or rather, all but one.
Gambrelli blushed embarrassed by the response of Antoniccu, gulped down in one blow what was left of the drink and it had called a colleague to look guilty, he fumbled in his pocket and placed a coin on the counter. Recovered his rifle and put his hand to the visor of his hat in salute mumbled - Be ', now we must move to complete our tour ... uh, good day. - Turned to the door and climbed the steps that led him to the relief outside where he saw, however, to be alone. He was to return in search of Shepherds when he heard the voice of my colleague from the Ziller asking - not that it has showed around the deserter or something? Did you know that help, or hide a crime and you go 'in jail ... the rest should be of interest to you especially since your son has responded while the call to arms that was given to the fugitive criminal! -
- I have not seen anyone - said on zilleràiu and said - the rest I do not have to do your work. I have enough to do with my having to even to look after others. -
- Okay. But if you see or hear something you're obligated to tell us, remember that! - Without waiting for further reply came quickly outside and heard muttering that Antoniccu - S'andàda de su FROR 'es'ureu fèzzes. Sun and cuss'attru can'e istrèzzu! -
outside after a few tens of meters Gambrelli said to his colleague - you really expect that you would say something about the defector? -
- More than anything I tried to understand from the expression on his face if he had something to hide. Certainly if you had not made that blunder with the history of the coin, it might have been more malleable. What operates is the only meeting place of this hole pulcioso and wine helps to lower the defenses, I'm sure someone has said something. -
- I think so too. Damn! If only we could take it would be worth a commendation and maybe we will get out of this hellish place where the crack from the heat and there is always that smell of carrion that pollutes the air! -
Pastorelli lit cigar and grinning said - You said right! It stinks of carrion! Do you know where it came from? ... From behind the Basilica, where the spring gushes that call on Cantaru. I spoke with Zuseppe " arràsigaterra " the undertaker of the country and told me that they bury the dead. Rather than bury them covered with stone slabs that perhaps belonged to the graves of the brothers there were who knows when. That only by dint of walking on Screensavers opening the graves with corpses still rotting and the stench that ... -
- I like animals! It is not enough that the whole country is full of pigs and chickens scratch around in the street! There's shit everywhere! I can not wait to go away! -
commented came to Mount Granat where they were going to make another stop.
Mountains in Sardinia Granat served to provide escorts for the seeding to make it available to farmers, giving them the loan in wheat. It was administered by a person appointed by the prefect and remained in office for 5 years. During that periodo era suo compito sovrintendere e custodire le scorte di grano, concedere i prestiti e assicurarsi che dopo il raccolto i contadini restituissero il grano aumentato di una piccola percentuale di interesse. Con la vendita di questi ultimi si finanziavano le attività di mantenimento del Monte stesso.
L’amministratore attuale, nominato dal prefetto, era un confidente dell’Arma dei Carabinieri e pur essendo anch’egli bonarcantese seppur di adozione, non si faceva scrupoli verso i suoi compaesani.
Si chiamava Camillo Selegas ed era figlio del vecchio maestro di scuola Tommaso. Originario di Samatzai, aveva insegnato a Bonarcanto per più trent’anni e dopo essere rimasto vedovo retired and was left permanently in the country with his only child thanks to his knowledge in the prefecture had managed to appoint an administrator of Mount Granat. But while the former teacher who knew everyone in Bonarcanto, having had almost all of them students, are now considered a bonarcantese in effect and was in perfect harmony with his peasants, his son Camillo instead it was born here and had to Bonarcanto whether primary, but the continuation of his studies included the High School had been made Santulussurgiu where he was a guest of his maternal aunt who was married to a local landowner.
He grew so ashamed of their origin and to be better accepted in the community in which he moved, he borrowed the contempt they had for the inhabitants of the lussurgesi de sa 'Idda' and Miraculu convinced that this would make him equal in their eyes.
finishing high school, however, Master Thomas had him back against his will to Bonarcanto and after a couple of months asked Pissènte " conch'e ossu " if he could accompany them with his " track" until Oristano. The carter consented in exchange for two " soddos " and a damp October morning brought them to the station in Orissa where father and son took the train that took them to Cagliari.
Once you went to the Prefecture and after 2 hours of waiting were received by Vice-Mayor in the past had been a fellow high school teacher of Thomas and thanks to him that he had managed to pass the exams for a diploma.
And so, thanks to the recommendation of the old school friend of his father, Camillo Selegas was appointed administrator of Mount Bonarcanto grenadier.
thing instead of to please him, irritated him as much he meant to be tied to that village from which he despised and wanted to flee.
But to go away so he decided he needed money to pay those 5 years as an administrator in order to accumulate a nest egg sufficient to allow it to send everything to hell and run away. And it was in exchange for money he agreed to act as informer of the Carabinieri on what happened and was said to Bonarcanto.
The administration office of Mount Granat had a barred window that looked directly onto the street and the Camillo Selegas desk placed in front, saw the two soldiers who were preparing to knock on the door robust chestnut strictly barred. Locked
was updating the registry, got up and went to the closed door where the heavy wooden bar across it horizontally, passing off his two sturdy latches and knocked out even before those opened a leaf of the door letting the morning sunlight.
- Pastorelli Hello, good morning Gambrelli - said moving to the side and leave space at the entrance of the two soldiers who were eager to take off from the sun and enter into the inviting coolness of Mt.
Once inside and after closing the door, Selegas made them sit in his office on two chairs in front of the desk behind which taken place.
- Can I offer you something? A small glass of liqueur? Or do you prefer a vernaccina of Solan?
- Thank you. But we can not drink on duty - said Pastorelli tacendo del loro passaggio in su zillèri – Siamo passati da lei per sentire se ci sono novità. Il Brigadiere ci terrebbe molto a dimostrare la propria efficienza ai suoi superiori, magari riuscendo a mettere le mani su quel renitente alla leva che si è dato alla macchia. -
- Sempre alla caccia del vostro disertore, eh Pastorelli? Certo che non vi sta’ facendo fare una bella figura… -
- Be’, se avessimo più forze da impiegare a quest’ora l’avremmo già preso. Ma siamo solo in due e dobbiamo coprire il territorio di 3 paesi perciò il compito è alquanto improbo anche se noi non risparmiamo commitment. For this reason we have gone from her, to have some information that will help us to capture him. -
The administrator moved his chair a little 'uncomfortable, cleared his throat and then put two fingers in his vest pocket and took out a metal box. After opening took a pinch of its contents, approached him alternately to the nostrils and breathed hard. Soon after he took out a handkerchief which is led by the nose to cover two sound sneezing. He wiped carefully before putting the box and handed it to the two soldiers by inviting them to use, I call that the two refused with a gesture of his head.
- The problem is not just - he said - Antonio Grigula ha un grosso ascendente qui in paese. Tutti hanno approvato quello che ha fatto e l’amor di patria non è il sentimento più diffuso quaggiù. L’unica cosa di cui sono certo è che non si è allontanato di molto, ha bisogno di cibo e di protezione, quindi sicuramente è qui in giro nelle campagne, da qualche parte. -
Gambrelli, che aveva ascoltato in silenzio fino a quel momento, chiese – Ma lei signor Selegas, non potrebbe oliare qualche ingranaggio in modo da ottenere qualche informazione certa, che so, dove dorme ad esempio, in modo che possiamo tendergli una trappola e mettergli i ferri? –
Pronunciate le ultime parole mise a bag of wax paper on the desk and pushed it to the administrator of the Mount - This is by the Prefect - he added.
Selegas took the envelope and opened it, took a look at the bills that were inside and stuck it in his pocket.
- Say also to His Excellency that within one month we will bring in Cagliari Grigula to subject to military court and sentenced to who deserves the gallows!
satisfied by what we just heard the two Police officers stood up and walked toward the exit accompanied by the administrator. Once
aperto il portone uno dei due si affacciò all’esterno e non vedendo nessuno uscì facendo cenno all’altro di seguirlo.
Questi prima di uscire si rivolse di nuovo a Selegas – Il Brigadiere e il signor Prefetto contano molto su di lei. Spero non voglia deluderli. Sono persone che trattano bene gli amici fedeli ma sono inflessibili con chi delude le loro aspettative. Se lo ricordi – concluse guardandolo dritto negli occhi mentre raggiungeva il suo collega in attesa in strada, dopodiché si avviarono per completare il loro giro.

Camillo Selegas richiuse il portone e sospirando vi si appoggiò contro con la schiena. Forse si era sbilanciato un po’ troppo garantendo la capture of the deserter within a month, but the sight of money and the thought of how many might still have had to abandon his usual caution.
closed his eyes and prayed not to doversene repent.
