Partinico. The villagers attack the Bourbon troops fleeing from Calatafimi. They must force their way to Palermo. This is the first episode of a brutal and merciless civil war, one that, since the Spanish Civil War, has become the nightmare of every army. There are reports of the bodies of Bourbon troops being roasted halfway through cooking by the people of Partinico, so they can show them to “Garibardo.”
