Briganti – Amore e libertà (1990)

Briganti – Amore e libertà (Bandits – Love and Liberty) is probably another made for TV film as some sources actually refer to La riffa as her first major film role.  I also happens to be another film I was only able to locate in Italian without subtitles.  The story takes place in 1838 Naples where a bandit named Caruso is shot and killed by one of Baron San Germano's trusted men who finds Caruso in the middle of love making in one of the Baron's barns.  The woman becomes pregnant and gives birth to a boy named Giovanni, she becomes the nurse of the the Baron's orphaned niece Costanza.  Thirteen years later Giovanni and Costanza are discovered making out in the courtyard in the middle of the night, enraged the Baron sends Costanza to a convent and Giovanni to his death.
