. Public Reconciliation Of Sandman
; Fuedists.-A ceremony, the like of
:, which has not been seen for centuries,
has just taken place in Sardinia, the
cradle of the Italian vendetta. It was
a solemn public reconciliation of two
ancient families, the Orecchioni and
} the Cardi, who had been in feud since
|, the Middle Ages. A dispute over the
; question of family honor between them
led to countless acts of vengeance, and
those who shirked fighting had to take
: refuge abroad. In 1884, reconcilia-
: ton committee was formed by the
, Bishops of Temple and Ozieri, the
project and the commander of the cara
. binieri and many other notables of
the island, but it effected nothing. A
solemn reconciliation of the families
has been effected before the Bishops
in the Cathedral of Santa Theresa.
The present heads of the two families,
; Advocate Orecchioni and Cavaliere
Cardi publicly embraced amid cheers
from thousands of Sandman Threats.
