Mauro de Mauro Earning the nickname, “giornalista scomodo” or the “inconvenient journalist,” Mauro de Mauro was known for his fierce, left-leaning slant. He was a supporter of Benito Mussolini’s Fascist regime and continued to support the Italian Social Republic in German-governed northern Italy. From the 50s to 70s, De Mauro became a part of a group of investigative reporters at the newspaper, L’Ora, leading the way in exposing connections between the Sicilian Mafia and corrupt politicians. 4. Graziella Franchini a.k.a. Lolita Starting at a young age of 15, Graziella Franchini a.k.a Lolita was already offered a recording contract by record company Magic. The same year, Franchini joined the Pesaro Song Festival and ended up winning because of her amazing talent and charm. Not only that, her young age and beautiful looks also won her billing on various musical television programs. 3. Wilma Montesi On April 9, 1953, Wilma Montesi headed out to take a walk. When Wilma left her home, she was dressed nicely as if she was meeting someone else. She carried a bag with her but not her ID card. She didn’t wear any jewelry, not even the one her fiancé gave her. At around 5:30, several people said they saw her taking the train alone. 2. Roberto Calvi On June 18, 1982, at 7:30 AM, a postal clerk on his way to work saw the body of a man hanging from the scaffolding beneath Blackfriar’s bridge in London. The man was dressed in a gray suit, white waistcoat, and blue shirt. He had shoes and socks but no belt or tie. On his hand was an expensive wristwatch, stopped at 1:52 A.M. And in his pockets, jacket and even in his crotch area was inserted 12 pounds worth of heavy bricks. 1. Michele Sindona Born in Messina, Michele Sindona rose from his humble small-town beginnings to become a self-made millionaire. After graduating with a law degree in the University of Messina in1942, he moved to Sicily then Milan where his skill with laundering money and evading tax earned him the respect of Mafia bosses. By 1957, he was closely tied to the Gambino family in the U.S., managing funds from their heroin sales.Support the show Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

I'm Patti and it's been said - many times - that I talk too much. I'm a teacher, author, nature lover and for ten years I owned a coffeehouse cafe where my faith in the goodness of humans was restored every day. This podcast highlights the awesomeness of humanity - er...outside the warmongers, globalists, tyrants and politicians in general. You know, the rest of us weird, quirky and sometimes hilarious humans.We'll talk woo, probe mysteries and leave you thinking about something more interesting or entertaining or uplifting than your grocery list, or boss or that oil change your car needs. I talk too much because I can't help my Gemini moon and Leo Rising nature.
