Italia 1968
Salvatore Colasberna, presidente di una piccola cooperativa edilizia di S., una mattina viene ucciso con due colpi di lupara mentre sta per salire sull’autobus diretto a Palermo. All’omicidio hanno assistito molte persone, ma nessuno è disposto a testimoniare. Le indagini sono dirette dal capitano Bellodi, comandante della compagnia Carabinieri di C. “Emiliano di Parma”, ex partigiano, ha scelto di fare l’ufficiale dei Carabinieri invece che l’avvocato per servire e far rispettare la legge della Repubblica, sorta dalla “rivoluzione” cui ha partecipato. Grazie a una lettera anonima, scritta da un fratello di Colasberna, Bellodi decide di indagare nel settore degli appalti e dell’associazione criminale che li controlla, ossia la mafia
In Sicily, the truck driver Salvatore Colasberna is murdered while delivering a load of cement to a highway construction project. The murder takes place within sight and earshot of the house of Rosa Nicolosi and her husband. Police captain Bellodi hears that there may be irregularities in the construction of the highway that amount to corruption. He is also told that Rosa has loose morals, though she denies it strenuously and claims that she has been faithful to her husband. Bellodi is unable to determine whether Colasberna was murdered because he stumbled onto a corruption racket or because he was a lover of Rosa, and was shot by her husband, who disappeared after the murder. Another possibility is that Nicolosi saw the murderer and was also murdered, or went into hiding fearing for his life.
In einem kleinen Ort auf Sizilien wird ein Lkw-Fahrer auf offener Straße erschossen. Capitano Bellodi, gerade von Norditalien nach Sizilien versetzt, übernimmt den Fall. Es handelt sich bei dem Ermordeten um einen Bauunternehmer, der sich weigerte, mit der Mafia zusammenzuarbeiten. Ein weiterer Mann, welcher sich zum Zeitpunkt des Geschehens in der Nähe befindet, verschwindet.
Während der Ermittlungen werden Bellodi falsche Spuren gelegt. Es wird der Eindruck erweckt, als handle es sich um einen Mord aus Eifersucht. Rosa Nicolosi, die Ehefrau des Verschwundenen, wird mit Verleumdungen in der Bevölkerung zur Hauptverdächtigen erklärt, da sie eine Affäre mit dem Bauunternehmer gehabt haben soll. Doch Bellodi traut diesen Spuren nicht. Er weiß, dass der Mörder innerhalb der Mafia zu suchen ist. Bei weiteren Ermittlungen stößt er aber selbst bei Kollegen auf großen Widerstand. Zeugen verschwinden, niemand will die Omertà, das Schweigegebot, brechen.
En la plaza del pueblo siciliano de S., Salvatore Colasberna, socio de una pequeña empresa contratista y antiguo albañil, es asesinado cuando está a punto de subir al autobús que se dirige a Palermo. Los pasajeros se apresuran a huir, y nadie ha visto nada, o eso dicen. Pero las circunstancias de su muerte parecen cada vez más complejas y puede que la misteriosa desaparición del campesino Mendolìa guarde relación con el caso. El joven capitán de los carabineros de C., Bellodi, ex partisano procedente de la ciudad de Parma, será el encargado de llevar a cabo la investigación y de rasgar con su empeño el silencio plomizo de toda una sociedad.

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.
Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain
Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.

SUMMARY
=======
Sicily (Italian: Sicilia [siˈtʃiːlja]; Sicilian: Sicilia) is the largest island in the Mediterranean Sea. It is an autonomous region of Italy, in Southern Italy along with surrounding minor islands, officially referred to as Regione Siciliana.
Sicily is located in the central Mediterranean Sea, south of the Italian Peninsula, from which it is separated by the narrow Strait of Messina. Its most prominent landmark is Mount Etna, the tallest active volcano in Europe, and one of the most active in the world, currently 3,329 m (10,922 ft) high. The island has a typical Mediterranean climate.
The earliest archaeological evidence of human activity on the island dates from as early as 12,000 BC. By around 750 BC, Sicily had three Phoenician and a dozen Greek colonies and, for the next 600 years, it was the site of the Sicilian Wars and the Punic Wars. After the fall of the Roman Empire in the 5th century AD, Sicily was ruled during the Early Middle Ages by the Vandals, the Ostrogoths, the Byzantine Empire, and the Emirate of Sicily. The Norman conquest of southern Italy led to the creation of the Kingdom of Sicily, which was subsequently ruled by the Hohenstaufen, the Capetian House of Anjou, Spain, and the House of Habsburg. It was finally unified under the House of Bourbon with the Kingdom of Naples as the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. It became part of Italy in 1860 following the Expedition of the Thousand, a revolt led by Giuseppe Garibaldi during the Italian unification, and a plebiscite. Sicily was given special status as an autonomous region on 15th May 1946, 18 days before the Italian constitutional referendum of 1946. Albeit, much of the autonomy still remains unapplied, especially financial autonomy, because the autonomy-activating laws have been deferred to be approved by the parithetic committee (50% Italian State, 50% Regione Siciliana), since 1946.
Sicily has a rich and unique culture, especially with regard to the arts, music, literature, cuisine, and architecture. It is also home to important archaeological and ancient sites, such as the Necropolis of Pantalica, the Valley of the Temples, Erice and Selinunte.
