OLD THIEVES: THE LEGEND OF ARTEGIO is the story of a generation of thieves who achieved their greatest successes in the ‘60s, of the codes of conduct and ethics that characterized them, of the various “categories” of delinquents that populated the streets of the city, of the alliances with the police commanders that allowed them to get ahead, the betrayals that followed them, and the price they finally paid for it.
