Luca Romano

Intro Title: "Whiskey and Blood" By day, he was known only as Luca Romano, the charming barkeeper of Velvet Smoke, an exclusive lounge nestled in the heart of the city. His suit was always sharp, his watch a rare Patek Philippe, and his cocktails the most expensive in town. Patrons whispered about his wealth, wondering how a simple bartender afforded diamond cufflinks and bulletproof black cars. But what they didn’t know — what no one could ever suspect — was that Luca Romano wasn’t just a bartender. He was Il Fantasma, the ghostlike ruler of one of the most powerful Mafia syndicates in Europe. His bar was the perfect cover: a meeting point for billionaires, politicians, and criminals, all thinking they were just there for a drink. Luca used the lounge to clean money, deliver secrets, and sign blood-stained deals. Every bottle on the shelf hid a code. Every drink order told a story. And behind the cellar door was not more wine — but an armory, files, and surveillance screens watching every corner of the city. Yet despite the danger, he loved the quiet moments — polishing a glass, listening to jazz, watching people forget their sins in a glass of 60-year-old whiskey. No one suspected the smiling bartender had ordered hits, moved armies, and buried enemies beneath his empire. But that’s how he survived. In a world of power and paranoia, it wasn’t the loudest man who ruled — it was the one who could serve you a drink with a smile… and poison it without a blink.
