Send a message to Monica and Olivia!
In the Izzo household, music filled every corner of the home. Agostino Izzo had once played in the Seneca Falls Italian Band and worked as a music teacher, passing his love of music on to his children. Several would go on to perform in orchestras of their own, carrying the family’s musical legacy far beyond their home in Syracuse, New York.
But on July 13, 1926, the harmony ended in the cellar.
Three days later, haunted by guilt and unable to rest, he walked into police headquarters and told officers exactly where to dig.
This Fun-Sized Felony explores jealousy, family legacy, and the haunting moment when a home once filled with music fell silent.
Musical pieces included:
- La Traviata by Guido Gialdini, 1911
- Quintette in E Flat Major by Ossip Gabrilowitsch, 1926
