Italy, 19th century: a woman decides to abandon her peaceful life as a housewife to join a group of bandits and guide them on an exciting hunt for lost treasure. This is the epic plot of Na Rota do Ouro, a new historical series that arrived on Netflix last Tuesday (23).

Although much of the plot revolves around fictional events, part of the story is actually inspired by real events! The series takes place after a political and social movement that took place between 1815 and 1870 in Italy, known as Risorgimento (in Portuguese, Resurgimento).
