This article presents six letters written by the author to his family in Italy before his execution. In the letter dated July 1, 1927, addressed to his sister, the author informed her about the date of his execution being postponed for a month to August 10, 1927. In his next letter dated July 14, 1927, he informed that he along with other two prisoners condemned to death are permitted to have their morning walks. In his next letter, he told her sister that he has started a hunger strike in protest because the inquiry commission do not want or are notable to believe the defense witnesses.
