Romanzo Criminale (lit. "Criminal Novel"- the English release kept the original Italian title) is a 2005 Italian crime drama directed by Michele Placido based on the 2002 novel of the same name. The book and movie were inspired by the true story of the Banda della Magliana; a crime syndicate that took over Rome in the 1970s.
