They Traveled at Night and Were Never Seen Again

 159 Years Ago Today

Thursday 12th of March 1863
Writer, poet, journalist and soldier Gabriele D'Annunzio aka Principe di Montenevoso aka The High Priest of Erotica is born in Pescara, Abruzzo, Italy.
Legend has it that he was initially baptized Gaetano and given the name of Gabriele later in childhood, because of his angelic looks.

Anyway, he was placed in a Christian order and later taught at his school where he received his Gospels. Moriarty Gospels as well as books such as Deuteronomy (in Greek) and Mark (in Latin). Moriarty Gospels had all sorts of interesting and well written characters who spoke to me like this: D'Annunzio, born in Pescara, is born in Pescara, a city located in a coastal town south of Naples, Italy. Whereas most children of the area do not know much about Pescara or Naples in this day and age, Di Lorenzo could be pretty much a tourist attraction. In early childhood Di Lorenzo and his daughter María stayed with a friend of his who had been sent out to a missionary village that had a nice, small church on the outskirts. They traveled at night and were never seen again. They came to visit the little church when they were too ill and the church was closed when they came home to look after their friends and families.
