Fate, however, stands in their way, and the Eternal City comes under attack by an army of ruthless mercenaries sent by King Charles V of Spain. Using unimaginable brutality, the invaders seize control of the city and lay waste to all around them. Under these tragic and desperate circumstances, the citizens of Rome find the inspiration to join together and regain their freedom.
