Mr.Vito Rallo shows good imagination and construction skill in finishing his ideas. He should perhaps attempt more complex ideas. Good luck !

In problem 140 both solutions can be shown from diagram when black rook is placed to e-line (for example Te7) and this is also C+.

In problem 141 I would have preferred white pawn in f3 iinstead of black pawn in e4, because if you less black power and more white power in helpselfmate that’s better.
This idea is also C+

White Qa8 Kf3 BPg2
Black Pa7 Bf2 Re1 Kf1
hs#4 2 solutions ( 3 + 4 ) C+
Berolina pawn>wBPg2

I. 1.Kf3-f4 Re1-e5 2.BPg2-f3 Kf1-g2 3.Qa8-g8 + Kg2-h3 4.Qg8-g3 + Bf2*g3 #
II. 1.Qa8*a7 Bf2-g1 2.Kf3-g3 Re1-e4 3.BPg2-f3 Re4-h4 4.Qa7-f2 + Bg1*f2 #

With best wishes,
