A bomb interrupted the appetizer of Magistrate Lombardi’s lunch on Saturday morning. The incident came two days after his edict to impose taxes on bread.

Signior Ricci found Signora Ricci in bed with her lover. Signora Ricci’s lover found a Remington 700 rifle in his face. The landlord found a new hole in the apartment’s wall. Love.

Last Monday, Signior Rinaldi of Firenze hanged himself. Some say bankrupt, some say otherwise. The first responders found him when following the report of a stolen rope.

Homage to Félix Fénéon
