The film is a historical and socio-anthropological portrait of the provincial capital of Campania, Naples, and the organised crime that afflicts it, and is the fruit of months of rummaging through the treasures of Rai Teche, the archives of the Italian state broadcaster.

The film clips tell the story of the growth of the crime syndicate between the 1960s and 1990s: from its subordination to the Mafia, which controlled the contraband of cigarettes in Campania after the war, until the advent of Raffaele Cutolo, who unified the bands of extortionists into a single, large armed and economic power.

The European dictators of the 20th century were strong, powerful, confident, holders of absolute truth. They seemed invincible, until the very moment they fell. In the darkest time of modern history, they held millions of people in their grip, ruling their fate for better and for worse. But as frightening as they were, they also were terrified, haunted by an obsession that followed them to the grave: the Masonic conspiracy. Every dictator thinks Freemasons are the masterminds of a conspiracy against the nation and its leader. For each dictator, there is a different justification for banning the lodges. Mussolini, who took advantage of the political opportunity presented by the Lateran Pacts, has a control mania; Hitler fears a Jewish-Masonic conspiracy, in which the lodges are instruments at the service of the Jews to dominate the world; Franco fears an international communist-Masonic conspiracy against Catholic Spain. Towards the end of World War II, US President and Freemason Harry Truman sends his friend Ray Denslow to help the Masonic lodges recover after the long years of Nazi-fascist dictatorships. Thanks to his diary, unseen until 2018, we will journey through Europe of 1945 to discover a story not recounted in the history books. The story will be told with the help of some of the world's leading historians, through usage of colourized archive footage and reconstructions of key events that were not recorded at the time. Our journey will take us through Italy, Spain, Germany, France and Belgium to search traces of Freemasonry and the devastation wrought by the dictators. We will visit some of the most prestigious temples in Europe, such as the Grand Orient de France, the Grande Oriente d'Italia and the Grande Oriente de Madrid. Our goal is to understand, through artifacts still in use today for Masonic rituals, what caused so much fear among the most vicious men of modern history, and why even today Freemasonry is considered the perfect enemy.

Young archaeologist Andrea Angelucci takes us on a journey to discover hidden or little known places in Italy that are part of the immense Italian artistic and historic heritage.

With an area three times larger than Pompeii, Baia, about 15 km from Naples and within the volcanic area of the Phlegraean fields, is the largest underwater archaeological site in the world. In 100 BC Pompeii is an ordinary city of small traders crouched on the slopes of Mt. Vesuvius, while Baia gains a peculiar reputation: it gradually becomes the ancient Las Vegas or Monte Carlo of the Roman Empire, a real posh center for noble gens and the powerful . Nestled in the center of the Gulf of Pozzuoli, Baia is flanked on one side by the port of Puteoli (ancient Pozzuoli) and on the other by the port of Capo Miseno. Both of these landings boast enormous prestige, one is the nerve center of Roman trade capable of handling a traffic of over 1,000 ships per year, with the task of supplying the capital with food but also with very precious rarities coming from the exotic east ; at the head of Miseno, on the other hand, allocates the imperial fleet to defend the interests of the entire gulf. Sumptuous buildings, monumental spas and brothels frequented by the rich "holiday makers" appear. Owning a villa here means prestige, a worldly duty. Baia is the most exclusive and renowned holiday resort in the ancient world, the fulcrum of the "dolce vita" of that time. It is no coincidence that emperors such as Caesar, Nero, Marcus Aurelius and Hadrian also decide to fix their imperial mansions there to take refuge from the austere and frenetic life of the capital. No wonder then that just in Pozzuoli an amphitheater was born long before the best known Colosseum in Rome.

On August 23rd, 2023, the leader of the Russian Wagner paramilitary group Evgenij Prigozin died in mysterious circumstances in a plane crash. Despite this, a few months after his death, members of the world's most renowned mercenary group continue their operations in several African conflicts, spanning from Mali to the Central African Republic, from Libya to Sudan. Wagner has been in the Central African Republic since 2018 to protect the besieged president, Faustin-Archange Touadéra. While most of the population welcomes this presence, a report from an independent investigative body denounces the violence and brutality of the Wagner group mercenaries, accused of summary executions, robberies, looting, and violence against women. Yet the responsibility of these crimes against humanity has not been clearly established. With the prestigious contribution of former Wagner commander Marat Gabidullin, that of French political analyst Emmanuel Dupuy and CAR president's counselor, the documentary explores the puzzled reality in Central African Republic, a paradigm for Russian expansion into Africa, which once again has become a land of conquest. Unlike in the past, however, the gradual Russian expansion on the continent is influencing global geopolitical relations. Africa, with all its contradictions, is a candidate to become the crucial continent for the future of international economic and political balances.
