scene i'm to tired me all there were one and a half 1000000 swifts which came out of the sky in a huge swarm and flew in circular movements into their nests behind a huge waterfall. goodness and it was overwhelming. and the music is equally overwhelming. this one sorry these who 1st raised who are the singers were sardinians who almost all have prehistoric voices. and they started singing with far too much energy and the meter was far too clear. and i stood up and made flying movements for them and they understood. and suddenly the movement became that of an eagle gliding from
>> you know, it's obviously always difficult to talk about race, and i always hesitate to even bring it up in these circumstances. but the president has -- you know, there's been reporting that he's talked about immigrants coming from what he called shithole countries, talked about people from haiti having aids, about people in nigeria not wanting to go back to their huts as if everybody in nigeria lives in huts, talking about people why don't more people from norway come? do you see a racial component in this administration, how they view this issue? >> all those epithets are the sorts of things which were said about jews, irish, poles, hungarians, sicilians, sardinians. everybody from southern europe, eastern europe, from the balkan countries were all condemned and vilified by the so-called america firsters of their day. these people were described frequently as slime pumped out of the mud tanks of europe, rapists, murderers, thieves,
people from norway come. do you see a racial component in this administration, how they view this issue? >> all those epithets are the sorts of things which were said about jews, irish, poles, hungarians, sicilians, sardinians. everybody from southern europe, eastern europe, from the balkan countries were all condemned and vilified by the so-called america firsters of their day. these people were described frequently as slime pumped out of the mud tanks of europe, rapists, murderers, thieves, gangsters. and thankfully the united states has made progress, as fitful as it may be, in reforming immigration laws so that we no longer have these racial quotas. it is hard to escape the conclusion based on the administration's actions and policies rather than the rhetoric. it's hard to escape the conclusion that they want to disadvantage people coming from countries based on their
>> the killer's name was stefano mele. and all during the '70s and early '80s, when the monster killings took place, he was either in prison or a halfway house. >> there was no way this guy could be the monster. >> yet somehow the same gun was used in the '68 killing and these monster killings. >> that's right. exactly. >> how could the gun have passed from stefano mele to the monster of florence? italian reporter mario spezi got a clue when he managed to interview mele at the halfway house where he was being held. >> this is very important. he said, they will kill again. they, not he. >> who is they? >> that's when spezi realized that this man had not acted alone. he had had at least two accomplices. >> so many secrets buried in the tuscan hills, and another was about to be unearthed. police slowly realized that the 1968 murder was far more than the act of a jealous husband. >> it was actually a group of sardinians who had settled in
what do you think of this theory? >> it's completely crazy. it's completely crazy. >> spezi developed his own very different theory based on something he says he was told by a high-ranking member of the carabinieri, the italian federal police. >> they tell me to a journalist who is writing about the monster, they told this new story very interesting. >> the carabinieri had withdrawn from the case years before, reportedly outraged at the way it was being managed by local investigators. >> but obsession is obsession. they continued a secret investigation into the sardinian connection to see if they could figure out who the monster of florence was. >> the unofficial investigation had led to a suspect. he was the son of one of the sardinians involved in the '68 murder. so he could have gotten hold of the gun. the key to the whole mystery. >> this is the real, real problem of the case of the monster of florence. >> who has the gun and how they
>> investigators came to believe that salvatore vinci ordered his group to murder the queen bee and her lover. >> so the police formulated a theory that the monster of florence was one of these people who had got such a sick pleasure out of it, he just had to do it again and again and again. >> so the hunt for the monster focused on that circle of sardinians with access to the gun. the new strategy even had a name. >> the sardinian connection or in italian they called it the la piste sarde, the sardinian track. >> in 1982 police arrested one of the sardinians that they believed either was the monster or knew who was. and in september of 1983, while he was in custody -- >> the monster struck again. >> a young german couple was making love in the back of a vw bus. the monster shot through the window, killing both. murders nine and ten. >> and then he entered the vw bus, and that's when he discovered he had killed a
