Plot Synopsis
Storyline
In 1950, 28-year-old outlaw Salvatore Giuliano is found gunned down in a Sicilian courtyard. Little is as it seems. The film moves back and forth between the late 1940s, when Giuliano and other reprobates were recruited by separatist politicians to do their fighting, and the days leading up to and following Giuliano's death. After Sicily's self-rule is declared, will the outlaws be pardoned as promised? And why does Giuliano order his gang to fire on a peaceful May Day rally? Police, Carabinieri, and Mafia have their uses for him. There's a trial after his death: will the truth come out or does the code of silence help protect those in power?

Trivia
About 12 minutes into the film a voiceover says "But our sons and our son's sons will live in a free land and will lift their gaze to the heavens and smile at the future." The next scene shows a cartoon drawn by Salvatore Giuliano. The cartoon depicts a man cutting a chain that connects Sicily with Italy, and another man pulling Sicily towards the United States. The voiceover and the cartoon express Salvatore Giuliano's belief that Sicily should be independent of Italy. He wanted it to become the 49th state in the US. See more »Goofs

"Salvatore.." is more a documentary than a film, in which the story of the legendary sicilian gangster is told. Oddly enough, we never get to see his face, and no insight is given of his character or about how and why did he turn into such an icon for the sicilian people. We only know about him through the other characters in the film. Even though there is some fine acting going on, the direction of Mr.Rosi is downright awful. We are presented with a series of events with no connecting thread whatsoever, other than a logical chronological development. While dealing with an interesting historical moment of Sicily, the film is terribly boring and you need a truckload of patience to stay tuned through the end. If you are keen on studying Sicily's historical heritage, you may find this film interesting, if not, then you should miss it!.
