Provincia violenta (never released in English; Violent Province is a direct translation of the Italian title ) is a 1978 Italian crime movie directed by Mario Bianchi. Franco Sereni (Calogero Caruana), credited as Lino Caruana), a captain of carabiniers, is dismissed from service for being the proponent of "the law of the gun". He is asked to hold a private investigation of several cases of blackmailing wealthy women. Soon Sereni finds out that there is much more then just blackmailing.



The following weapons were used in the film Violent Province (Provincia violenta):


Handguns

Riva Esterina Dobermann

Numerous characters, including Franco Sereni (Calogero Caruana), use snub nose five-shot revolvers. They resemble Smith & Wesson Model 36, but the high profile of the front sight allows to identify them as Riva Esterina Dobermann.
