...first thrusts her into an earthy peasant farce. One midday siesta she is seduced and becomes pregnant. Her father, played with inexhaustible bravura by Saro Urzi, consults a lawyer cousin, explaining that the doctor has brought up a little problem about Agnese. "Tumor?" asks the cousin. "Honor," growls Don Vincenzo. He sends his only son Antonio to murder the seducer, assured that the boy's punishment will be no more than three to seven years in prison, provided he can prove that he killed "in a blind rage...
...struggle for power began in December 1962, when Marketeer Domenico Italiano, 65, known as Il Papa, died peacefully in bed. One strong contender for the job of Mr. Big was eliminated four months later when Vincenzo Angilletta was ambushed outside his home and blasted to death by both barrels of a shotgun. Last November, Domenico Demarie, 41, got the same treatment, but he survived as a sick and frightened man who swears he has no idea who attacked him or why. Fortnight ago, Vincent Muratore, 43, rose before dawn to go to his wholesale produce stall at the market...

The Virgins, adapted from the works of Bach by England's William Walton, is unfailingly evocative of a less harried time. Neither of the ballets survives as a stage work, but their music deserves a better fate-and gets it here...
Last June, debt-ridden Vincenzo Marino, 32, a baker's assistant, sealed a deal with his friend Antonio Raffa, a courtroom attendant who greatly admired his wife Francesca. After some haggling, Marino agreed to let Francesca, 29, and two of their three children move in with Raffa for a consideration of $1,600. Although he already had a wife in Sicily, Raffa seemed glad to pay the charges-in easy installments. Since Raffa, 30, was better off financially than her husband, Francesca had no objections to the transaction. The trio agreed to remain good friends, and Marino was permitted...
