Iglesias the Italian champion
The Italian champion horse in horse racing. Kidnapped by the Camorra, to make him mate with the mares of the illegal gambling dens.
Found in a pitiful condition, he was saved and cared for by the Franciscan father Danilo Reverberi and by the owner Sergio Carfagna, at the foot of the sacred convent of S. Francesco di Assissi.
Iglesias "The horse of San Franceso" returns to win.
