Netflix sets October release for Italian serial killer drama ‘The Monster of Florence'
Netflix is bringing one of Italy's most terrifying real-life mysteries to the screen with The Monster of Florence, a four-part Italian crime drama set to premiere October 22. The limited series will mark the 10th anniversary of Netflix's launch in Italy and is helmed by Stefano Sollima, best known for Gomorrah and Suburra. Created by Sollima and longtime collaborator Leonardo Fasoli, the series revisits the long-unsolved case of a serial killer who terrorized the outskirts of Florence for nearly two decades. Between the late 1960s and 1985, 16 people, mainly young couples, were brutally murdered in secluded areas. The killer was never officially identified, and the case remains one of Italy's most infamous. The Monster of Florence explores not just the investigation, but also the lives and suspicions surrounding the many individuals considered suspects over the years. According to Netflix, the series takes an 'immersive' approach to storytelling, delving into the psychological toll the case took on victims' families, investigators, and the wider public. The show stars Marco Bullitta, Valentino Mannias, Francesca Olia, and Liliana Bottone, among others. It's produced by The Apartment (a Fremantle company) and AlterEgo, with Lorenzo Mieli, Sollima, and Gina Gardini serving as producers. A teaser trailer released this week offers glimpses of a tense, shadowy Florence and flashes of the fear and confusion that surrounded the killings. While dramatized, the show is grounded in real events and is expected to maintain a gritty, suspenseful tone. For fans of true crime and international thrillers, The Monster of Florence looks to deliver a gripping look at a case that still haunts Italy and continues to raise more questions than answers.
