Melanzasca hasn't a single story, is a multitude of stories.
He carries the name of a bandit, but in his disguises is all those robbers, smugglers, people carrying knives who belonged to a romantic, working class underworld which doesn't exist anymore.
He's a robber, a gentleman, a gangster. He lives in hidden places, where outcasts people live, people with no redemption
