About the series
As Sicily struggles with the upheaval of the Risorgimento in 1860, the Prince of Salina rules over his family and his estates, convinced that even this turmoil is destined to pass. He is not reconciled to the idealism of young men like his nephew Tancredi, who joins the rebels at the risk of his own life, or to the ambitions of men like Sedara, a vulgar man who profits from the changes by pandering to the rising power of Mafia criminal organizations and who intends to use his beautiful daughter Angelica to get what he wants. At Don Fabrizio's side remains Concetta, his favorite daughter, who shares his intelligence and foresight. Her happiness will ultimately be sacrificed in an attempt to secure the survival of the family's power and name.
