1t is a well known fact that the use Of
the knife as a weapon is prevalent through
out Italy from north to south, but the
absence Of trustworthy criminal statistics
renders it almost impossible to ascertain
which province Of Italy is the most sangui-
nary. The general impression is that such
crimes are most frequent in the southern
provinces, especially Naples, Calabria and
Sicily, where the inhabitants are said to be
more hot blooded, excitable and revengeful
where the Camorra, the Malta and the ven
delta are almost national institutions, and
where illiteracy and superstition predom-
mate.
As matter Of fact the custom OF stabbing
In the south Of Italy, as well as in the island
Of Sardinia, is less extensive than in other
regions Of Italy, where the Use Of the knife
is almost a pastime, and where murders
are very often committed through sheer
lust Of blood. Sicilian or a NeapOitan
kills the man who has elOped with his wife
or, dishOnored his sister; II a Camorrista
he stabs and dishgures traitor OF spy,
and any respectable and law abiding citi-
zen considers it within his right to revenge
the death Of a relative.
A Roman, however, will stab a policeman
in the back simply because he Is a police
man. A Tuscan will knife a casual passerby
who jOstIes him in the street. Two MilAnese
lads recently agreed that the one who should
stab a man first should be treated by the
other TO half bottle Of wine. and accordingly
they waited knife in hand at opposite cor

killed. and these accounts il compared
with the newspaper paragraphs Of to-day
describing ordinary Sunday or holiday
celebrations will be found to tally almost
word for word. Rarely even to-day does
one meet the formula: La fiesta fu fatta
in pace THE feast ended in peace).

common people. ignorant and downtrodden
but fierce and proud. were practically con-
tinually fighting. When knives were USE
less owing to the distance between the
Combatants, stones were thrown with un-
erring aim, an accomplishment which Ro-
man boys still retain.
The popular Roman heroes in times gone
by were all more or less celebrated for their
deXterity in the Use of the knife, and the
exploits of Tolla and his brother Mem
gaccio, as well as Jacaccio and Titta Of
Trastevere, have been sung by the vernacl-
lar poets Peresio, Berneri and Belli. The
contests between the Inhabitants Of the
different regions of Rome especially those
of Trastevere and Monti we're real battles.
Knives and stones were the only weapons.
but they were so well used that the field
was covered with dead and wounded.
These contests, which were believed
10 have a classic origin and to be the con-
tinuation of the battles between the in
habitans of the SacTa Via and the Suburra,
fought in October after the races in honor
of Mars, continued to he one OF the faVorite
pastines and entertainments Of the Romans
until comparatively recent years. when
Cardinal Consalvi, seeing that legislation
was useless to prevent them. adopted the
system of sending regiment OF cavalry

holy day and Sunday. The cavalry stopped
the contests by charging and sabring.
The use Of the knife il as common to-day
as it was in the time OF the papal govern
ment. The Inhabitants OF the different
regions or riOni Of Rome are not organized
as formerly. and regular battles witnessed
by a surrounding crowd Of admiring and
encouraging spectators no longer take
place. but the special way OF handling the
knife peculiar to the Romans, the mode
of defence by means Of q coat or cloak
used as a sort Of Shield. the nature OF the
injury inflicted, the manner OF striking
and all other minor details are practically
the same as in the old days The fire.
QuenCy OF isolated cases Of stabbing makes
up for the adjustment Of regular contests.
A great deal has been written to ex-
plain and extenuate II not justify the
sanguinary customs OF the Romans. This
tendency to shed blood" says a modern
writer, lis due to two causes: the survival
of the rude instincts Of past centuries. the
fierce desire for personal vengeance owing
TO an insufficient administration OF justice
on the one hand and the neglect OF in
struction among the lower masses of the
people on the other"
law making it a crime to carry a knife

other country, but is indispensable in Italy.
where the first and main caAlAs Of al cases
Of stabbing is the fact that every man
carries a knife handy in his pocket.
Valesio. chronicler Of the eighteenth
century, has several short entries in his
diary which more or less run as follows:

ners OF the street and stabbed the first
man that came along. an old defenceless
priest.
The reference made by Signor Lucchini
to Italian art and literature in connection
with stabbing evidently refers to the en-
cravings Of Pinelh and 20 the vernacular
sonnets Of the popular Roman poet Beln,
who faithfully portrays the customs OF his
fellow citizens and naturally celebrates the
national weapon. the knife. which he calls
even holy. -GorteIlO sdHto," and qualities
as mans best friend carried in his pocket"
According to Beli the sign that a person
is a Christian is that he carries a sharp
knife and rosary Of beads. while Berneri,
another poet, says that the true Romans
have valor and know how TO WELD the
knife
The origin Of the custom Of stabbing,
like almost all the other customs of Rome,
dates back TO very early times The Romans
OF the past were as free with the knife as
those OF to-day. In fact the knife is found
in Roman history since its very beginning.
The foundation OF Rome began with a
murder. that Of Remus by his brother
Romulus. Later the knife. cutter. was
used by Virginius to prevent the dishonOr
