With meticulous attention to detail, Scarpelli portrays him with an air of authority and strength, reflecting his role as a famous guerrilla leader. Fra Diavolo's nickname translates to "Brother Devil" which perfectly encapsulates his reputation as a cunning and elusive opponent against Napoleon Bonaparte's army.
