Determined to continue where his friend left off, freckled peasant anarchist Tunin arrives in Rome intending to assassinate Benito Mussolini. Under those circumstances, the resolute idealist will be welcome in the town's first-rate brothel as the cousin of his contact, devoted revolutionary Salomè, who works there as a prostitute. Things soon get complicated when Tunin falls in love with one of the girls, Tripolina, and hovers on the verge of failure, torn between ideals and passion. Will the love-smitten patriot succeed in his cause? —Nick Riganas

Quotes
Salome: In my opinion, I can't stand these people that are so intelligent yet create such a shitty world.

Crazy credits
Before end credits: "I wish to repeat my horror that attacks, which besides being bad in and of themselves are also stupid, because they harm the very cause they are trying to serve...But those assassins are also saints and heroes...And they will be celebrated once the brutal facts are forgotten, and all that is remembered is the idea that inspired them and the martyrdom that made them saints.--Errico Malatesta."

Alternate versions
For the initial American release, editor Fima Noveck created a prologue which featured a montage of photos of Mussolini, along with a crawl explaining his rise to power and the violent activities sanctioned in his name during his reign.

Tunin has been ordered to kill Mussolini but love and strange events will make change his ideas

Giannini at his best , a cult wertmuller movie that has been forgotten but it's a very good movie not only for Italian public but also for cinema lovers of all genres. it's the story of a poor man , Tunin which he must kill Mussolini during a ceremony. So he stayed for a couple of days in a house where there are women that offer sexual lends by paying. Tunin will fall in love with two of them and that will be negative for his mission. The excellent acting and the lina wertmuller's directing made this film a masterpiece and a realistic portrait of Italy of the '30. Giancarlo Giannini and Mariangela Melato are really wonderful and they show that Italian acting is at American level
