Simone Pianetti

The area came under the control of Italian forces when he was still an infant and was made part of the Kingdom of Italy when it was formed in 1861.

For unknown reasons he was not charged and in an agreement with the local chief of the Carabinieri, he left Italy and went to the United States of America.

Because the local parish priest and other church people did not agree with dancing in Pianetti's restaurant, the municipality forced him to close it.

[2] On the morning of 13 July 1914, Pianetti used his rifle to shoot and kill 7 people: Soon after the killings, Pianetti left the village and reached Monte Cancervo, where he lived for some days, despite a search by 200 people from the Carabinieri, the Polizia di Stato and a company of the 78th infantry regiment.

Pianetti fired at some Carabinieri to escape into the mountains near the villages of Olmo al Brembo and Cassiglio.
