Name Description Time Price 1 Caution Video The Snack Thief Detective Montalbano (Luca Zingaretti) investigates the murder of a local businessman called Lapecora in this story which has been adapted from the best selling books by Andrea Camilleri.
But now there is the added hook of six episodes of Young Montalbano (which began last night on BBC Four), the prequel to the Inspector Montalbano series. And indeed, the Sicilian tourist board could wish for no better promotional campaign than Inspector Montalbano, which has been something of a hit on BBC Four (and which returns in the autumn). Camilleri is equally at home with the television series’s eastward shift of his novels’ locations, calling the settings of the screen Montalbano “extraordinary”.
Camilleri himself has admitted as much, but as someone who, for 30 years, worked for RAI, the Italian state broadcaster that produced the series, he has a media professional’s understanding of character upgrade: “My Montalbano,” he has said, “is less robust, less quick to action, less young but the way he reasons things out is identical.”. The television Montalbano, as portrayed by muscular Roman actor Luca Zingaretti, is, as any reader of the book will recognise, a close but not perfect fit for the older police inspector of the books.
