1:05:03
ln Turin, l met some Sicilians
who seemed everything but lazy.

1:05:09
l didn't make myself clear,
l'm sorry.

1:05:12
l said ''Sicilians'',
but l should have said ''Sicily''.

1:05:16
This environment,
the violence of the landscape,

1:05:20
the cruelty of the climate,
the ever-lasting tension...

1:05:23
The climate can be fought,
the landscape changed,

1:05:29
the remembrance of bad governments,
erased.

1:05:32
l'm sure Sicilians want
to better themselves.

1:05:35
l don't deny that if you bring
a Sicilian off this island

1:05:38
he might awake. But they must
go away while still young.

1:05:42
At 20 they're too old.
They've already been molded.

1:05:45
What you need is a man who's able
to make his personal interests

1:05:51
and some vague public idealities
meet.

1:05:56
- May l suggest something ?
- Of course, Prince.

1:06:00
l know a man
who'd be perfect for you.

1:06:05
l don't smoke, thank you.
1:06:09
l'm talking about...
1:06:12
Calogero Sedara.
1:06:14
He meets your needs
much better than me.

1:06:17
He's of a very old lineage.
1:06:22
He may not have what you call
prestige, but he sure has power.

1:06:27
He's not very learned, but he has
great practical potential.

1:06:32
He was incredibly useful
during the May crisis.

1:06:36
As for illusions...
1:06:43
l don't think
he's got more than l do.

1:06:46
But, if needed,
he's sly enough to invent them.

1:06:49
He's the man for you.
1:06:53
Yes, l heard about Sedara.
1:06:58
But if honest men like you
withdraw,
