Fra Diavolo

Fra Diavolo (lit. Brother Devil; 7 April 1771–11 November 1806), is the popular name given to Michele Pezza, a guerrilla leader who resisted the French occupation of Naples, proving an "inspirational practitioner of popular insurrection". Pezza figures prominently in folk lore and fiction. He appears in several works of Alexandre Dumas, including ''The Last Cavalier: Being the Adventures of Count Sainte-hermine in the Age of Napoleon'', not published until 2007 and in Washington Irving's short story "The Inn at Terracina".
