Guappo

Noun that derives from the Spanish guapo meaning confident, bold, or stylish.
1) Originally, a term used in Southern Italy to describe a person that dressed really flashy & stylish(similar to the slang term for "pimp") & was an "outlaw" or "criminal" but lived by his own moral code and was idealistic & freethinking against the norms of other organized criminals like the "comorra". There's historical reference to people like this.
