Corleone

Totò Riina (Claudio Gioè) is a mafioso whose story begins with his difficult childhood and ends with his bloody rise to the head of the Cosa Nostra. The beginning of his career is marked by a traumatic episode: as a teenager, the future boss witnesses the death of his brother and father in a bomb explosion. Once he became head of the family, he had to face a period of terrible poverty. He then joined the criminals of Corleone, under the orders of the chief Luciano Liggio (Claudio Castrogiovanni). During this period, a nucleus of disciples is formed, among which Bernardo Provenzano (Salvatore Lazzaro) and Calogero Bagarella (Marco Leonardi) who will remain faithful to Riina until the end. Together, they first climb the ranks of the Corleone Mafia, before extending their power to Palermo and then to the very heart of the Cosa Nostra. Within the group formed in Corleone, a young man, Biagio (Daniele Liotti), rebels against Riina. He joins the police force and makes it his mission to bring down his former friend. The story also features personalities such as Giovanni Falcone and ends with Riina's arrest.
