At the festival

During the unification of Italy a mysterious, wild viking-like man emerges amongst the factions of Garabaldis men.  He speaks an incomprehensible language but seems willing and enthusiastic.  Nicknamed Bersecchi, he follows the adventures of the patriots, fighting alongside them.  An outsider, strong and dangerous in battle and simple in spirit present at the bloodiest moments of the Risorgimento libertarian, secular ecologist during the mercurial times of the birth of a nation.
