Sequential waves of stickers bearing a Jim Jones’s photo have been flooding many squares and streets in downtown Rome.
Reverend Jim Jones was the founder, and the terminal angel of death, of the People’s Temple, a Californian sect-church which committed suicide with a cyanide-laced soft drink on November 18, 1978. The ritual of self-destruction took place in a rural community the Temple had created in the heart of the jungle of Guyana, and had aptly named Jonestown: 908 dead, including at least 200 children, plus a few others slain and suicidal at the church site in Georgetown.
