Synopsis:

The story of the Mafia, or Cosa Nostra has been told many times in the history of cinema and television, but this production for Canale 5 in Italy lifts the bar very high. It does so in terms of detail, of drama and makes no bones at all about the ruthlessness of the Corleone clan. Over 6 feature length episodes, we see the events that saw Toto Riina grow from a poor young kid to the man that controlled the families of first Corleone, then Palermo, then further afield. The cast is huge and of the highest quality. Claudio Gioe plays Toto Riina, a strangely calm man for the most part, but with a heart full of vengeance. His childhood friend, Biagio Chiro is played by Daniele Liotti. Disc 1: 1943 to 1959 1963 to 1969 Disc 2: 1969 to 1978 1979 to 1981 Disc 3: 1982 to 1987 1988 to 1993

This twisting tale begins in post-war Corleone. Just 13 years old when his father and younger brother die trying to recover gunpowder from an American bomb to sell for food, Toto (Claudio Gioe) is left struggling to provide for his family. Together with his equally-impoverished friend Biagio (Daniele Liotti), he joins a band of four young men all struggling to survive their poverty and escape a hard future as peasants.

Il Capo dei Capi is a six part miniseries which tells the story of Salvatore Riina, alias Totò u Curtu, a mafioso from Corleone, Sicily. Riina is played by Claudio Gioè, and the series was directed by Alexis Sweet and Enzo Monteleone. The film is inspired from the homonymous book-inquiry of Giuseppe D'Avanzo and Attilio Bolzoni.
