A horse’s head has been found outside the office of an Italian politician, in a scene reminiscent of The Godfather

An anonymous call alerted police to the macabre discovery which outside deputy mayor Vincenzo Pomes’ office in Osturni, near Bari. Mr Pomes, a centre left politician, said: “There is no explanation for such a stupid act.

“I have no idea why anyone would make such a horrific gesture.

“I don’t think it’s a warning with regard to my political life or private life.

4. Movie becomes reality.

Is there any basis in truth to this part of The Godfather? One of the Dons making such a gesture to someone in Hollywood for the benefit of Frank Sinatra?

5. but the point of the horses head was that it was the guys prized

thoroughbred.

the horses head in this story is a hollow threat. Unless it was the guys favorite horse, then it would be different.
