"This film was shot in Sicily.
In Montelepre, where Salvatore
Giuliano was born.
In the houses, roads, and mountains
where he reigned for seven years.
In the house in Castelvetrano,
where the outlaw spent his last months,
and in the courtyard where
his lifeless body was found one morning. "
In the year 1950, on this fifth day
ofJuly, in Castelvetrano,
on the Via Fra' Serafino Mannone,
in the De Maria courtyard,
lies a male corpse,
apparent age 30 years,
lying in a prone position,
with the left leg extended
and the right leg bent
The right arm is extended with clenched
fist, and the left is under the chest.
The left cheek lies on the ground.
You mean "rests" on the ground.
Very well. Correct that.
He was wearing the following:
with gold buckle and pistol holster,
a pair of canvas,
khaki-colored trousers,
striped cotton socks,
civilian sandals with crepe sole.
From the right ring finger
I have recovered
with a single diamond.
a ten-lire bill,
and a photograph
of an as yet unidentified person.
No pictures.
Reporters and photographers
may enter now.
Easy, easy.
His undershirt is soaked with blood,
but there's little on the ground.
It must be underneath him.
Carnemolla, take a picture from above.
Pinciroli.
- Your Excellence.
- Let's keep the photos to a minimum,
and get rid of them quickly.
Gentlemen, that's enough now.
Time to go. You heard him.
You, too!
Gentlemen, close the windows.
Ever since the Allies'arrival
in 1943;
there had raged in Sicily
a passion for separatism.
MIS was the separatist party
that wished to unite the region;
and EVIS was its military arm.
The Americans; the English; landowners
and the Mafia supported the movement.
Many died in skirmishes between
separatists and offiicers of the law.
On September 30; 1945;
ordered the arrest of the leaders
of the independence movement.:
Finocchiaro Aprile and Varvaro.
We should have achieved independence
before the war ended on the mainland.
Then the government would have been
faced with a fait accompli.
Now it's useless.
The situation gets worse every day.
Either we give up, or we stage
an insurrection right now.
Who's going to stage the revolution?
A bunch of kids?
Right now there are 37 bands
of outlaws in Sicily. Thirty-seven!
They have enough weapons
to fill an arsenal.
And they're not all escaped convicts.
Most of them are victims
of injustice, ignorance and poverty.
They're just waiting for a chance
to get back to civilian life.
That's enough. You know most of us
are against what you propose.
- Talking has gotten us nowhere.
- All right then.
We set up an independent combat unit
and absolve the party
of all responsibility.
Enough of this crap!
Who did Garibaldi use to liberate
Sicily from the Bourbons?
He used the picciotti.
And who were they?
Escapees and bandits.
Sir, we'll have to walk.
That was the agreement.
As long as it's not too far.
No, it's nearby.
October 1945.
Case Vecchie di Sagana;
a few miles from Montelepre.
Representatives of EVIS seek out
the outlaw Giuliano
to offer him the rank of colonel;
the battle flag of EVIS;
and the promise that his name would be
cleared once the separatists have won.
- Where's Turiddu?
- Inside.
Let's go.
Salvatore Giuliano was then 23.
He had become an outlaw at 21.
Caught delivering two sacks of grain
to the black market; he fled;
killed a carabiniere;
and managed to reach the mountains.
Go on in, sir.
Turiddu is expecting you.
Pinuzzo, come here.
Good morning, Don Pie'.
- Where are the others?
- In back of the house.
Good morning.
- Who's he?
- Don Pietro di Borgetto.
- And the others?
- Separatists, like him.
They've hired Giuliano to fight
for the independence of Sicily.
Picciotti; we're all going to be
soldiers now.
Italy let us burn, and now
we're going to answer with fire.
We've made Giuliano a colonel,
so he can fight the Italian tyrants
to gain our freedom,
and so you can go back
to your homes as free men.
Sicily, wake up.
Your shameful slumber
has lasted far too long.
While you've slept,
all has been lost, even your honor.
Now the trumpets ring loud
and you must no longer sleep,
because sleep would mean death.
White roses of Sicily,
you'll be stained red with our blood.
But our sons and our sons' sons
will live in a free land
and will lift their gaze to the heavens
and smile at the future.
DEATH TO THE FASCIST PIGS WHO SUCK
THE BLOOD OF THE SICI LIAN PEOPLE
LONG LIVE I NDEPENDENCE
AND FREEDOM:
- Have these things taken away.
- Where to?
We don't know.
To the cemetery.
When will the body be identified?
We don't know yet.
The magistrate will decide that.
Where is the man
who was with Giuliano?
Why are you asking me?
Ask the carabinieri.
He was shot in the heart.
The carabinieri were waiting
in the courtyard.
He came running in
and they shot him.
What about the four shots
in his side and back?
He got those earlier,
during the chase.
- But how did you know -
- You were saying?
How did you know that Giuliano
would be in Castelvetrano?
An informant told us ten days ago
that Giuliano was in the area.
The same informant said Giuliano
