Tito leads a small band of men who occupy the territories surrounding Casa Alpina. Tito and his men claim to be partisan soldiers who fight on behalf of the people of Italy, though in reality there are brutes and thieves. Pino first encounters Tito at the inn in Madesimo and then again at Casa Alpina. Both times, Tito tries to get Pino to submit to his will through violence. The first time, Tito succeeds. The second time, though, Pino triumphs by getting Tito’s gun away from him. Tito appears one last time at the end of the novel when Carletto and Pino are transporting Leyers to the Austrian border. Just before Pino, Carletto, and Leyers reach their destination, Tito and his men show up and attempt to take revenge on Pino. However, Leyers shoots Tito, and Carletto guns down his men.
