Crimini: La Collection

Eight new episodes enrich and complete the criminal “tour of Italy” inaugurated with the fortunate TV series “Crimini”, supervised again by Giancarlo De Cataldo. Having only a geographical location to respect, the writers have been left free to improvise on the subject, to tell of the obsessions, the big and small fears, the hopes, miseries and fasts of a disturbing and restless Country which no other context has been able to describe so well as the criminal one with its constant, often elusive changes. A team of established screenwriters has flanked the writers during the adaptation process of their literary works for the small screen. The nocturnal and seductive Bari described by Carofiglio, with the ghostly apparitions of breathless yet pitiless dames. The blinding Courmayeur with its “dirty snow” by De Cataldo, populated by lowlife business consultants and a man seeking redemption. The sunny Matera portrayed by Sandrone Dazieri, the theatre of unmentionable trades. Faletti’s Piedmont, set to a “pitch-black” adventure of fires and deceits. Di Cara’s Umbria, where brave policemen fight a life-and-death war against aggressive criminal organizations, and Lucarelli’s Marche. Massimo Carlotto’s rich and
equally desperate North-East. There’s nothing predictable in the ruthless Italy portrayed by the authors of “Crimini”. Not even hope: which fortunately resides in the hearts of the just, here always the winners in the never-ending war against Evil.
