destined to pass. He hasn’t come to terms with the idealism of young
people like his nephew Tancredi (Saul Nanni), who joins the rebels risking his own
life, or the ambitions of men like Sedara, a vulgar man who rides
change by pandering to the nascent power of mafia criminal organizations
and intends to use his beautiful daughter Angelica (Deva Cassel) to get what he wants. At Don Fabrizio’s side remains Concetta (Benedetta Porcaroli),
