Overview
- The four-part series, created by Stefano Sollima and Leonardo Fasoli, debuted October 22 and quickly topped Netflix’s global charts on October 23, according to FlixPatrol.
- Between 1968 and 1985, 16 people were killed in eight double homicides near Florence, with ballistics linking a .22-caliber Beretta that has never been recovered.
- Multiple suspects were prosecuted over the years—including Pietro Pacciani, whose 1994 conviction was overturned—and alleged accomplices Mario Vanni and Giancarlo Lotti, who were convicted in 1998 but none definitively tied to all murders.
- The series uses real names and structures each episode around a different suspect without endorsing a single theory, reflecting the case’s disputed investigations and false leads.
- Families petitioned in 2022 for a fresh probe and access to files, and reporting in 2024 noted the same unidentified male DNA on evidence from multiple scenes that has yet to yield a public identification.
