The Mayor of Rione Sanità

Antonio Barracano, a man of honor distinguishing between “decent people and scoundrels” in the Napolitan underworld, is the "Mayor of Rione Sanità". Administering justice according to his own criteria, beyond the State, he is faced with a difficult decision when Rafiluccio Santaniello, the baker's son, asks him for his benediction to kill his father.
