It's Italy in the time of the Renaissance. The fortress of the Duke of Lombardy sits under heavy siege. When the Duke is killed in the heavy fighting, his wife Caterina Sforza flees with her son Giovanni in the mountains. But Giovanni is not going to let the story end with the loss of his mother's fortress.
Giovanni de' Medici (1498-1526), who returned from exile becomes, with the name of Giovanni delle Bande Nere, captain in the service of the idea of a united Italy ...
One of the most famous examples of indirect propaganda to fascism. References to the arrogant squadrism of Mussolini and of his Blackshirts are explicit.
