On October 27, 1962 Enrico Mattei, on a flight from Catania, Sicily to the Milan Linate Airport, died when his jetplane, a Morane-Saulnier MS-760, crashed in the countryside near Bascapè. Pilot Irnerio Bertuzzi and the American journalist William McHale were also killed with Mattei. Subsequent inquiries officially declared that it was an accident; it is widely believed, however, that Mattei was murdered by sabotaging the airplane.
