Hidden away in the working-class neighbourhoods of Catania, Sicily, in a vast area beyond the reach of the authorities, are numerous makeshift stables. One of them belongs to Concetto, also known as “il farmacista,” a respected figure who has created a name for himself within the microcosm of clandestine racing.

Nei quartieri popolari di Catania, in un vasto territorio sottratto al controllo delle autorità, proliferano numerose stalle di fortuna. Una di queste appartiene a Concetto, detto «il farmacista», un personaggio rispettato e temuto che si è creato una fama nel microcosmo delle corse clandestine della città.
