Leopoldo Metlicovitz

(Trieste 1868 – Ponte Lambro/Como 1944)

Pittore, cartellonista, illustratore e scenografo teatrale di origine oriundo-dalmata (il cognome originario della famiglia era Metlicovich), inizia a lavorare giovanissimo; a quattordici anni riesce a mantenersi fuori di casa viaggiando per l’Italia probabilmente grazie all’attività commerciale del padre Leopoldo, che possiede una ditta di minuteria meccanica fine a Trieste.

When Tavernier finally manages to escape from the lift in which he was forced to spend the weekend, he is arrested by the police and charged with the murder of the German couple. His lover, Florence, manages to track down the real murders and obtains the evidence needed to clear Julien. But in so doing, she unwittingly incriminates him in the murder of her husband.
