Your Excellency should have seen
him last April:

:22:03
he was all over the place,
all the time !

:22:07
He either walked around or rode his
ass, in sunny and rainy weather.

:22:12
He set up secret groups, preparing
the ground for the newcomers !

:22:19
A true calamity sent by God !
:22:23
And this is just the beginning
of his career !

:22:27
ln a few months he'll be a deputy
of the Turin Parliament !

:22:33
ln a few years, when the
Ecclesiastic goods will be sold,

:22:38
he'll buy the Feud of Marca, that
of Fondacello... for a trifle !

:22:46
ln no time, he'll become the major
landowner of the whole county !

:22:51
This is Don Calogero, Excellency.
:22:54
This is ''the new man'' !
:22:59
Too bad it should be so.
:23:07
What about the rest of his family ?
What are they like ?

:23:11
Excellency,
nobody has seen his wife for years.

:23:16
l have, though.
:23:18
She only goes to the 5:00am mass,
the one nobody attends.

:23:24
l got up very early, one day,
in order to see her.

:23:28
Take my word for it, Excellency:
she's as beautiful as the sun.

:23:34
You can't blame Don Calogero: he's
so ugly that he keeps her hidden.

:23:40
But, you know how these things go:
people talk, there are rumors.

:23:48
They say Donna Bastiana
is like an animal:

:23:55
she can't read no write,
and she can hardly talk.

:23:59
She can't even love her daughter,
