a b c d e f g h i j k l BBC Four: "Inspector Montalbano, Episode guide: Series 2". Accessed 30 November 2014 From the enchanting streets of Vigata to the picturesque coastal towns, new Montalbano episodes will soon come to the screen and take viewers on a rollercoaster ride of suspense, intrigue, and unexpected twists. Claudia Catani provided the Italian voice of Livia Burlando, Montalbano's girlfriend who lives in Genoa for Katharina Böhm (seasons 1-4) and Lina Perned (season 9) and as Livia's voice on the telephone (seasons 5-8) Ragusa is Vigata and is a surprising city, not only for its baroque and extravagant architectural style and culinary appeal but also for the variety of ruins and funerary architecture worth visiting in the surrounding area, such as the Cava Gonfalone and the Grotta dei Trabacche.The accountant Gargano has disappeared and with him all the money that many citizens of Vigata had given him in the hope that he would invest it productively. Together with a young man, Giacomo Pellegrino, who helped him in the business, he has left no trace. The Commissioner can count on two women who worked with the accountant Gargano; the first is a student who had sensed that something was not right, the other is the secretary of the accountant and is convinced of the innocence of the accountant. Montalbano, after numerous clues, find that the accountant Gargano after stealing money and killing his partner went to the house of his secretary, who, feeling sorry for him because he was having a severe mental breakdown after doing what he did, and to spare him suffering, killed him. Montalbano finds his decaying body in a bedroom where his lover put him after shooting him while he slept.

What Are the New Episodes of Detective Montalbano? Two novels by Andrea Camilleri have not made it to the screen. We are talking about The Cook of the Alcyon ‘Il cuoco dell’Alcyon‘ and Riccardino and it is precisely from these books that Rai would like to resume the investigations of Il Commissario Montalbano. Will it be ready for 2023? Although filming has taken place, it is known that the episode based on The Cook of the Alcyon will be broadcast first. Then, the final episode will be Riccardino. The premiere date is still uncertain while setting and post-production continue. At the time of the release of episode 37, The Catalanotti Method, Carlo Degli Esposti, founder of Palomar and producer of fiction, took time to discuss the future of Montalbano, who confirmed the decision is made and Inspector Montalbano continues with two more episodes and will conclude with them. Montalbano receives a visit from Ernesto Sabatello who brings him some films shot for six consecutive years by Sabatello's deceased father, which always depict the same thing: the fixed shot of a wall. The commissioner senses that there is a tragedy behind those films. It turns out that Sabatello's father was a twin and there was a grim family matter that Sabatello's father was commemorating. Separately, a story line develops at the school attended by Salvo, the son of Mimi Augello. The problem centres around the vicious bullying of a young computer nerd, Luigino. The issue gets serious when two masked gunmen burst into class and shoot bullets into the ceiling. Mimi is in the classroom at the time and tries to apprehend the gunmen as they leave, but isn't able to get a clear shot. In a poignant scene with Luigino, Montalbano works out why the gunmen were there and how the incident is tied to the bullying.

Roberto Nobile as Nicolò Zito, journalist of local TV station Rete Libera and trusted friend of Montalbano (season 1−15) Montalbano must end. It cannot be left to the train ( the last episode of Inspector Montalbano Season 15) and a lost-in-love Montalbano and out of any frame we have seen him in twenty years. Throughout this article, you may notice that this post is not only to talk about where Montalbano was filmed but also to mention where Montalbano is filmed nowadays. It’s important to say this because two new Montalbano episodes are still left to finish filming and release. After the blow that the Covid-19 pandemic has given to the cast of Inspector Montalbano, with a change of director and part of the cast, after the mentor’s death, Camilleri, two last books deserve to be brought to the screen. And it is mainly the last book, revealed post-mortem, Riccardino, which brings closure to the police stories of Salvo Montalbano. That is why it is so essential for all the fans around the world.

On a road outside Vigata lies the abandoned scooter of a girl, Susanna Mistretta, who was going through a difficult time because of her terminally ill mother's depression. Montalbano finds her boyfriend Francesco to be a great help in uncovering the truth behind the apparent kidnapping. The enlargement of a photo sent by the kidnappers and the statement of a woman forced into prostitution to pay for the treatment of her disabled husband enable Montalbano to discover that the kidnapping was a hoax, planned by the girl herself and her uncle who had been in love with Susanna's mother. The uncle wished to economically and politically ruin his sister-in-law’s brother, Susanna's uncle, because of his role in the mother's depression. There is nothing to do in the Vigata police station. Catarella is hopelessly committed to solving crossword puzzles and rebus and Montalbano reads a novel by Simenon when he is unexpectedly forced to play the Bruce Willis partin an American movie. In an old building inhabited by two elderly bigots, the brothers Gregorio and Caterina Palmisano, whose religious obsessions have now reached the height of madness, the hallucinated old man started to shoot from the window and Montalbano, to challenge his feeling old, climbing dangerously up a firefighter ladder manages to make the old fool harmless. In the dilapidated building, in a forest of crucifixes of every workmanship illuminated by countless lights, Montalbano believes he has discovered a young woman killed but realizes that it is a worn out inflatable dollnow battered by prolonged use, without an eye and with a hole repaired at best. Once the two brothers are hospitalized, inertia seems to have returned to the Vigata police station when news of a corpse found in a dumpster arrives. It is not the body of a victim but of another doll identical to that found in the palace of the Palmisano brothers. In those same days the commissioner receives a strange anonymous letter where he is challenged with riddles in verse to a treasure hunt that out of curiosity and because he has nothing else to do accepts. After two or three clues the suspicion arises that the game hides something dangerous and crazy. Unfortunately his "cop" nose doesn't fool him. In an author’s note written in 2005 and included with the book, Camilleri wrote: “This is the final novel with Inspector Montalbano as its protagonist. I will not write any more in the series. I regret this, but at 80 years of age, one cannot avoid the fact that many, too many, things must come to an end.” On a hot August day, Inspector Montalbano is eating lunch at a beach villa rented by his deputy, Augello, for holidays in Montereale Marina. During lunch, Augello's young son Salvo cannot be found; Montalbano searches for him and finds him in a tunnel in the garden, where he also discovers the corpse of a girl named Rina who disappeared six years earlier. Montalbano begins investigations with the help of the victim's twin sister, Adriana (who tries to seduce him), to find out who killed her sister. Inspector Montalbano was first aired in 1999, and since then new episodes have been aired every one or two years until 2021. There are still two books left, so new chapters of Inspector Montalbano can be made.

Mimi asks Montalbano to investigate the crime and find the real murderer to clear his own name. Montalbano’s reliable assistant, Giuseppe Fazio, played by Peppino Mazzotta, joins them in the investigation. The actor who plays Fazio is now 50 years old, but many of the cast members have aged little since the beginning of the series.

Set in the picturesque Sicilian town of Vigata, Detective Montalbano is a critically acclaimed Italian crime drama series based on the novels by Andrea Camilleri. Season 1 episode 37, titled "The Catalanotti Method," offers another captivating installment in the gripping world of the astute and charismatic Inspector Salvo Montalbano. A night watchman discovers Adelina's son, Pasquale, stealing from a villa. However, nothing seems to have been stolen so he can’t be charged and imprisoned.The mystery of what happened is only resolved when Montalbano discovers that the owner of the villa is having an affair with her brother-in-law, and when they were discovered by Pasquale, they paid him hush money to hide their actions. In a separate story, Agata Cosentino, an archivist and a friend of Livia's, is found dead, killed with a hammer, in the municipal archive of Vigata. The murder is a puzzle, given that she should not have been in the building while it was being renovated, and the killer should have been easy to find, because of all the blood. Montalbano has to eliminate many possible suspects, and think outside the box to figure out how the murderer was able to get away undetected. The answer lies in the fact that the murderer must have been naked, with no clothes on to be stained with blood. Montalbano further determines that the murderer was the director of the archive, naked because of a homosexual encounter, which Agata accidentally witnessed. In France, it was shown in winter 2013 on France 3 on Sundays with the title Commissaire Montalbano. In Spain, it was on La 2 on Saturdays in spring 2013 and in Argentina on the Europa channel. Despite the recurring reruns of Detective Montalbano in 4K that the Italian TV channel Rai has become accustomed to lately, the appearance of Salvo is always guaranteed success. That’s why everyone is wondering if we’ll ever see the two new episodes that have been talked about for some time now. One episode is taken from Andrea Camilleri’s latest novel, ‘ Riccardino‘, and the other is from the book ‘Il cuoco dell’Alcyon‘, published in 2019.Not speaking Italian, I have to read the subtitles, and they have done a very good job since I don't read particularly fast and I still don't have to resort to the pause button on the DVD player all that much. On the other hand, Montalbano’s beach house is located inside a bed&breakfast (that used to be a house and previously a fish factory) in Punta Secca, close to Marina di Ragusa. In the stories adapted to the TV, Punta Secca is Marinella, where Montalbano’s house is located. The lighthouse of Marinella is also in Punta Secca, province of Ragusa.
