Kidnapping of the wealthy has been a local Italian sport and too often a grim one. Seventeen-year-old Tino del Bro-whose rich, distinguished family was an important one in Palermo, Sicily-was envious of his older brother, Massimo, who did everything properly and was to be engaged to Giulia Sante Clara, whose father was a prince. Caterina del Bro felt she could ask nothing more of the life than to see her son Massimo marry into the Santa Clara family.
