Plot[edit]
Inspector Salvo Montalbano, the police chief (commissario) of Vigàta, a fictional town in the fictional province of Montelusa in Sicily, is a gruff character who is responsible and serious at work, but often also open and friendly with people he knows he can trust. Montalbano must investigate various criminal acts in his area which, thanks to his intelligence and the help of numerous assistants, even outside the police, he always manages to solve by reconstructing the exact events. Among his colleagues at the police station are his Deputy, Inspector Domenico 'Mimì' Augello, Detective Giuseppe Fazio, officer Galluzzo and the awkward policeman Agatino Catarella. Among his external collaborators are his swedish friend Ingrid Sjöström (she lives in Vigata), the journalist Nicolo Zito, Dr. Pasquano and, more rarely, Adelina, his cook. In his private life, Salvo carries on a long-distance relationship with Livia Burlando, with whom he has a sometimes tempestuous relationship but within which love always prevails.

Upper management at this location are very egotistical and speak down to team members. All in all, the company as a whole is fantastic. Work is what you make it, but don't have too much fun or else it's frowned upon. Unfortunately the higher up someone is, the more their work ethic and care for team members lag behind.

Filming will start in April 2020 on three new episodes — 'La rete di protezione ' and 'Il metodo Catalanotti' based on full-length novels by Andrea Camilleri, not yet translated into English and 'Salvo amato Livia mia' based on a short story from 'Gli Arancini di Montalbano' by Andrea Camilleri, not yet translated into English [19]
Production[edit]
Offices of the Commissioner
Montalbano's house in the fictional Marinella; actually in Punta Secca, a district of Santa Croce Camerina
Given the success of the novels RAI, with Palomar [it], commissioned a television series, in co-operation with Sweden's SVT, Sveriges Television, of most of the novels and short stories. Each closely follows the plot of the novels, in some cases joining several short stories. Alberto Sironi has directed the entire series. Luca Zingaretti had to adjust his accent to Sicilian having been born in Rome. Camilleri was teaching at the time when Zingaretti was studying at the Accademia Nazionale di Arte Drammatica Silvio D'Amico. Austrian actress Katharina Böhm, and after whit Lina Perned, plays his girlfriend Livia, dubbed by Claudia Catani, while Cesare Bocci plays his deputy, and Peppino Mazzotta plays his most trusted detective Fazio.
Although Camilleri set his books in a fictionalized version of the province of Agrigento, much of the show is filmed in the province of Ragusa. The exteriors in some episodes, such as de la Mànnara (Fornace Penna) were actually filmed in Sampieri, while Montalbano's headquarters are in Scicli, as are the offices of Commissioner Bonetti-Alderighi (actually that of the mayor of Scicli). Other scenes were filmed in Ragusa Ibla, Modica, Donnafugata Castle, the port of Donnalucata, Marina di Ragusa, Comiso, Santa Croce Camerina, and other sites in south-eastern Sicily. The opening shots of the programme also show Guerrieri Viaduct, which is in Modica.
The show was initially launched on Rai 2, but moved to Rai 1 from the third series onwards based on viewing figures.
Music for the soundtrack was composed by Franco Piersanti.

| In Pasture, an abandoned industrial site that serves as a dump and a hangout for sex workers, two dustmen find the semi-clothed body of the Sicilian politician Luparello in his car, apparently dead of a heart attack that occurred in compromising circumstances with a prostitute. Montalbano suspects something fishy and because of this, decides not to close the case; but investigate. One of the dustmen alerts Rizzo, Lupparello's lawyer and best friend. Rizzo is surprisingly indifferent and merely advises the men to call the police. In the meantime, one of the men finds a valuable gold necklace. Although the authorities publicly pronounce Luparello's death to be from 'natural causes', Montalbano questions the victim's widow and the lawyer Rizzo. Rizzo implicates Ingrid Sjostrom, a beautiful Swedish former racing driver. It was her valuable necklace that was found at the dump, and Rizzo implies that she is a loose and depraved woman who would have relished a sexual encounter at a place like Pasture. But Ingrid informs Montalbano that Luparello was not attracted to women. It seems that he had been having an affair with his own nephew, Giogio, a fragile young man suffering from epilepsy who tried to take advantage of the situation politically, and who killed his uncle before committing suicide. | ||||||
| 4 | 2 | 'The Mystery of the Terracotta Dog' | Alberto Sironi | Andrea Camilleri & Francesco Bruni | 9 May 2000 | |
| Inspector Montalbano's men stage the arrest of the elderly Mafia boss Tanu 'u Greco, who had previously confided to Montalbano that he wished to take refuge in prison because he was repelled by the violent ways of the new, international Mafia that no longer adheres to the older codes of 'the honoured society.' The Mafia, however, does not allow members to leave, and they shoot Tanu to prevent him from revealing their secrets. Before dying, Tanu has revealed to Montalbano the existence of a wartime arsenal hidden in a cave. There Montalbano discovers the tomb of two skeletons embracing each other. They are guarded by a large terracotta dog, and next to them is a saucer with coins. When forensic examination reveals that the skeletons met a violent end, Montalbano decides to investigate even though the deaths occurred fifty years previously. Montalbano's friend, the elderly school principal Burgio, tells Montalbano that the cave and surrounding land belonged to the family of his school friend, Lillo Rizzitano. The Rizzitanos were a violent and lawless clan, but young Lillo, in contrast, was a bookish and gentle youth who was repelled by the brutality of his own family. Lillo, now an elderly professor of folklore and literature, returns to Vigata to tell his story to Montalbano. During World War II, Lillo's teenage cousin Lisetta had fallen in love with Mario, a young soldier from the North. Lisetta took refuge with Lillo to escape the abuse of her father (Lillo's uncle), who had been molesting her. The father found the pair together and killed them, and Lillo in turn killed him. Lillo had placed the bodies of the two lovers in the cave with the dog and bowl of coins in accordance with the formula of an Arab folk legend of two doomed young lovers that he had read about. | ||||||

| Inspector Montalbano is sought out by a distraught man who is upset at not being able to contact his retired elderly parents. The last time they had been seen was on a tour bus they had taken to visit the town of Tindari. During the trip, they been stand-offish and had behaved somewhat strangely, requesting several stops on the return trip. The other passengers could not remember if the couple had left the bus after the final stop. On the same day as the disappearance of the couple, the body of a young man is found in front of the apartment building where the old couple had lived. He had been shot to death at close range in the forehead. It appears that the victim, Nenè Sanfilippo, did unspecified work at home via computer for which he was being well paid. He had two new cars and his apartment is filled with expensive electronic goods. Sanfilippo also has a large stash of what appears to be homemade pornographic videos. Officer Catarella inspects the contents of Sanfilippo's computer and discovers that he documented his sexual exploits. On the computer, Catarella also finds the draft of what appears to be an unfinished science fiction novel. Montalbano's friend Ingrid Sjostrom recognises the woman in the videos as an acquaintance, the Romanian wife of a noted surgeon, known locally as 'The Transplant King', whose patients come to him by helicopter. The plot of the science fiction novel concerns robots and robot 'part' transplants and seems to hint at organ trafficking. Montalbano discovers that Sanfilippo had recently rented, for unusually large sums, and remodelled, an outbuilding on land belonging to the missing couple. It turns out that on the last stop on their return from their trip to Tindari, the couple had been murdered in order to silence them. | ||||||

Thanks to a new search of the house, he found a photo album of which only half remains, as well as a gun and a holographic will, whose sole beneficiary is the brother James. At the same time the car that was heard leaving the Alberto's place is traced to James. After a handwriting expert proves the will is false, James is arrested, but declares himself as being innocent. Shortly after a witness, Angela Bonocore, claims to have heard a violent quarrel coming from the house of Larussa.
