Overview
- The miniseries debuted this week and has risen to the top spot on Netflix’s rankings, according to multiple outlets.
- It dramatizes real killings that terrorized the Florence area from 1968 to 1985, including eight double homicides of young couples with a consistent modus operandi.
- Reports detail a recurring Beretta .22, nocturnal attacks, and mutilations in several crimes, contributing to the case’s notoriety.
- Despite decades of probes and shifting suspects—including Stefano Mele, Pietro Pacciani, Mario Vanni, and Giancarlo Lotti—the perpetrator was never definitively identified.
- Created by Leonardo Fasoli and Stefano Sollima, the series centers on Silvia Della Monica (played by Liliana Bottone) and highlights investigative missteps, media sensationalism, and renewed forensic reviews such as DNA analysis.
