Zastrozzi: A Romance(1986)

Zastrozzi: A Romance is a dark period drama built on revenge and obsession. The outlaw Zastrozzi, aided by the cunning courtesan Matilda, kidnaps his half-brother Verezzi and wages a campaign of psychological torture, convincing him that his lover Julia is dead. What unfolds is a brutal descent into greed, envy, and betrayal as Zastrozzi's vendetta spirals toward violence and ruin. The series explores the corrosive nature of vengeance, where each act of retribution only deepens the cycle of cruelty. Caught between family bonds and murderous intent, the characters careen toward a reckoning that promises damnation for all involved.
