Il Commissario Ricciardi

Naples, the 1930s. Under the shadow of Fascism, Commissario Luigi Alfredo Ricciardi walks the streets of a city of breathtaking beauty and crushing poverty. Born to a noble family in the Cilento countryside, Ricciardi carries a terrible secret: he possesses what he calls "the Fact" — the ability to see the ghosts of those who have died violently, forever repeating their last words or thoughts in the places where they perished. This gift — or curse — makes Ricciardi an exceptional detective but a profoundly lonely man. Aided by the loyal and warm-hearted Brigadiere Raffaele Maione and his friend, the doctor Bruno Modo, Ricciardi solves murders while navigating a society suffocated by political oppression, class divisions, and the weight of tradition. Adapted from Maurizio de Giovanni's acclaimed novel series, Il Commissario Ricciardi brings 1930s Naples to life in meticulous detail — a world of chiaroscuro beauty where the dead speak and the living struggle to listen.
