The Lions of Sicily

Paolo and Ignazio escape to Palermo, where they lay the foundations for the future Florio empire.

Vincenzo leaves his adolescence behind and prepares to run the Florio empire.

Meeting Giulia turns Vincenzo's convictions upside down and shakes all his beliefs.

Vincenzo must choose between his love for Giulia and the prestige of the Florio family.

As Palermo is ravaged by cholera, Giulia escapes to the new villa with her daughters and mother-in-law; Vincenzo risks catching the disease to take care of business and gets the idea to create an independent fleet in the Mediterranean.

When Palermo rises against the Kingdom of Naples' central power, Vincenzo must protect his family; thanks to Giulia's intervention, he begrudgingly accepts a proposal by rebel leader Giuseppe La Masa; the rebels flee to avoid arrest and execution.
