Born and raised in Pietro Borsieri street in Milan, at the Isola, once known to be populated by exponents of ligera, the traditional Milanese underworld, Ezio Barbieri is known for being a famous robber of the immediate post-war period , the head of the "band of the black Aprilia". On board of a Lancia 777, the number of the police Milanese switchboard, Ezio Barbieri and his band formed impromptu roadblocks, robbing passers-by, robbing banks or creating industrial raids guilty of making the binders of goods with the black bag. The raids often ended with the redistribution of loot among the poor people of the neighborhood where there was the omertà on the real identity of the members of the band.
