XI about some of his philosophical thoughts. The Vatican secretary answered, addressing the letter to "Ill.mo signor dottor Giulio Canella". Bruneri/Canella died in Rio de Janeiro on 12 December 1941. Giulia Canella tried again to have the verdict overturned, until she died in 1977. Further discoveries Account of alleged meeting between Canella and Bruneri After the trial was over, an English noblewoman living in Milan wrote to the court a letter under the name "Mrs Taylor". The woman asked for a meeting to give her account of a story. In 1923, she gave shelter to a homeless man found wandering in the streets, dressed in an old military uniform. She gave him a meal, new clothes and some food. She nicknamed him "The Tramp" (Il Randagio). Later they met again; moved by his politeness, she became his friend. The homeless man told her that he had fought in the Great War, and he was sure he had a family. Unfortunately, he was experiencing the consequences of a trauma, was psychologically unstable and could not remember his identity, where his family lived and many other details. He came to know a local girl, a salesgirl of dairy products, and he introduced her to the noblewoman. The two became friends and often talked about "The Tramp": from their combined experiences, the women became suspicious about the man's real identity, and ultimately began thinking that the Tramp was actually two very similar-looking men. That would explain his mood changes, the inconsistency of his stories, and his forgetfulness of details and memories from day to day. The suspicion was apparently confirmed when the noblewoman gave a jacket to the man, which was ultimately found among Bruneri's possessions. Bruneri was indeed living in Milan at the time with Camilla Ghidini, wanted by police. Taylor alleged that the good-hearted Canella was the original Tramp. She speculated that Bruneri must have joined him in his life on the street, and the two became close friends, thanks to their physical resemblance. Bruneri later came to know many facts about Canella's life (but details were missing due to the man's mental condition), and when he feared that the police were on his track, he devised a plan to steal Canella's identity and hide in a mental hospital. When Canella's wife came to see him, he seized the chance to escape his criminal past. Bruneri's letters In 1960, new information
