Ayant renoncé à l'amour après que son dernier prétendant s'est engagé dans la prêtrise, une célibataire accepte à contrecœur d'organiser le mariage de sa sœur.

A detective is investigating on Andres Carrera, speech-writer of a politician man. Andres disappeared during the electoral campaign. The detective slowly 'penetrates' in Andres' life: he begins to live at Andres' home; to work at Andres' office; to meet Andres' parents; to seek a sort of relation with Andres' wife and colleagues. The election campaign is going on, but nobody can write so 'poetic' and so 'politic' speeches as Andres did. What is the secret of his speeches? Why his nickname was "Whitman", like American poet? Why Andres disappeared and where he is now? And why the detective is so interested in it, beyond his professional task? Maybe being in relation with Andres parents and wife will reveal every solution to the detective. Or it will include everything in a dream...

Deux jeunes aristocrates, Domenico et Angelo, et un fils de métayer, Salvatore, sujets du royaume des Deux-Siciles et originaires du Cilento, au sud de Naples et de Salerne, jurent de consacrer leur vie à la réalisation d'un noble idéal : l'indépendance et l'unification de l'Italie. Leur combat auprès des Républicains clandestins de Giuseppe Mazzini sera un chemin difficile, très souvent semé de déboires et de trahisons. Un drame historique relatant quatre épisodes du Risorgimento entre 1828 et 1862.

Italian police inspector Coliandro — an ignorant, boorish, but fundamentally kind-hearted oaf, whose entire worldview is informed by American cop movies — protects the good citizens of Bologna, routinely saving the day and foiling the plans of evildoers of all sorts by a combination of dumb luck and genuine bravery, while always falling hopelessly in love with the woman at the center of the case.
