Famous for his unconventional projects (flood the Fucino again; reopen brothels; though a Communist, order a mass for padre Pio). In his green days in his study in Rome generations of Communists came to be visited. From that Spallone created six clinics managed by his three brothers and four children. Now some of the clan are being inquired for an abortion scandal. 15 April/aprile 2000 IL CENTRO - - Penne - Tradition renewed for Holy Friday / Si rinnova la tradizione per Venerdì Santo The ancient procession will start again from the chiesa della Santissima Annunziata carrying the wooden statue of Jesus, lying on a black drape embroidered in gold and silver made in Naples in the early 1800.
