During their journey they meet some extraordinary characters and experience a number of adventures, but the most important personage they meet along the away is the Pope's envoy who is travelling to San Paolo to investigate the violent crisis that is shaking the region and which has taken the form of a kind of exorcism accompanied by dancing and music called "tarantism".
