A master criminal has his sights on conquering Romes underworld in this exciting gangland saga spanning more than 25 years of criminal activity in Italy. Romanzo criminale follows Libano from hoodlum to kingpin tracking his rise to power and the struggles that arise within his gang of ruthless cohorts. However this isnt just another variation of the classic gangster film formula as it becomes evident the gangs activities are intrinsically linked to the darker episodes of the countrys history with police and governmental corruption kidnapping plots and even romance broadening the canvas of this epic film.
