In 1863 a company of Bersaglieri commanded by Captain Giordani, as part of the repression of banditry, was charged with freeing the area of Melfi, by a band whose command was an individual nicknamed Raffa Raffa, faithful to the Bourbons. Captain Giordani is determined to use the most energetic and quick means in the fight, while the Siceli commissioner, who came from Foggia to support the Bersaglieri, prefers cunning and tries to avoid the use of force. After various vicissitudes, the Bersaglieri will be able to storm Raffaele's hiding place Raffa who will be killed in a final battle by Carmine, husband of a woman named Zitamaria, who arrived on the spot in order to avenge the shame of the sexual violence suffered by his wife at the hands of the brigand.[4]
