It is the heart that sets off the firecrackers in front of Bancali, not the anarchists.

Yesterday some strong explosions near the Sassari penitentiary had made us think of a deferred protest for Alfredo Cospito , the anarchist who had been transferred for two weeks from the "Giovanni Bacchiddu" prison to the Milanese Opera prison.

But the truth that is making its way is far from claims against the 41 bis, the impediment prison and the Minister of Justice Carlo Nordio.

To grasp it you have to look at the calendar, in particular the symbolic date of all lovers, February 14, Valentine's Day. And so, on the wall near the crossroads leading to the prison, only feelings in the form of firecrackers would have exploded, an explosive declaration of love by, presumably, a woman towards a prisoner or perhaps vice versa.

A noisy queue to a meeting that may have taken place on the same day, or in the previous ones, as a seal of a passion hindered by prison walls and bars and which did not even fear the cold of the winter night. If that were the case, and given the exclusion of the anarchist lead as certain, the alarm that arose yesterday, with the intervention of the Digos men, and the investigations in the area to track down any bad guys, would be restored.

Even if, right from the start, the hypothesis of paper bombs was discarded in order to fall back on the much more permissible late New Year's Eve "barrels" . On the other hand, no gathering of people had been noticed and the little girl, or the little bomber, had immediately disappeared into the darkness of the surrounding countryside wrapped in the secret of their identity. Which, in all likelihood, will remain a mystery because, at the moment, there are no suspects for this motion of affections.
