About Bravo

Bravi were hired assassins who were commonly employed throughout Italy. The word initially had no negative meaning and was applied to retainers in noble houses, or to soldiers. Their fame, and their reputation as frightening and domineering criminals, rests in part on their striking presence in Alessandro Manzoni's historical novel The Betrothed (1827), which opens with an extended description of the phenomenon.
