Blood Feud (original Italian title: Un Fatto Di Sangue Nel Comune Di Siculiana Fra Due Uomini Per Causa Di Una Vedova. Si Sospettano Moventi Politici. Amore-Morte-Shimmy. Lugano Belle. Tarantelle. Tarallucci E Vino., English: A Fact of Blood in the Town of Siculiana Between Two Men Because of a Widow, Political Motives are Suspected. Love-Death-Shimmy. Lugano Beautiful. Tarantelle. Tarallucci and Wine.) is a 1978 Italian drama directed by Lina Wertmüller. Recognized as having the longest film title by the Guinness Book of World Records, the English-language title in most of the world was simply Blood Feud or Revenge.

The story takes place over 30 years in a small Sicilian town. Mafia hitman Vito Acicatena (Turi Ferro) shoots Angelo Paterno, the leader of the local fishermen's strike against the rising prices of their catch on the market. The widow Conchita (Sophia Loren), who after the murder of her husband miscarries, intends to take revenge because the court of justice closed the case since the offender is "unknown". Socialist activist and attorney Rosario Maria Spalone (Marcello Mastroianni) offers her help, because he is an idealist, but also soon falls madly in love. But from America comes another suitor, Angelo's cousin, Nicola Sanmichele (Giancarlo Giannini) also known as Nick, who applies more illegal means to achieve justice.
