Features: Arthur is a philosophy student at the Pisa Seminary. In 19th-century Italy, ruled by Austria, Arthur joins the Young Italy Party to save his homeland from suffering. His biological father is the seminary's rector, the hypocritical Father Montanelli. Despite their deep bond, differing beliefs and interests soon drive them apart. Naive and easily deceived by the new confessor, Father Cardi, Arthur is arrested. After his release, he flees to South America and faces constant mistreatment. Thirteen years later, he returns to Europe as Levene—known as the Fly—rejoining the revolutionary movement, organizing uprisings, and transporting weapons. Soon after, he is arrested again. At this point, the fate of his son is decided by Father Montanelli, who has now been elevated to a cardinal. His reactionary ideology and religious fervor lead him to sign the death sentence for his own son. The fearless heroism of the Fly vividly portrays the tumultuous struggle of the Italian people for independence and unification in the 1830s and 1840s.
