Plot

edit

The voice-over narrator of the series is an adult, Salvatore Giammarresi (Pif), who tells the story of his life as a 10-year-old boy (Edoardo Buscetta) growing up in an ordinary family in Palermo during the late 1970s.

The ordinary events from the kid's point of view are mixed with historical facts, primarily regarding the Sicilian Mafia (Cosa Nostra), which unfairly dominated the city in that period. Combining reality with TV fiction, there are various storylines related to the Sack of Palermo, to the personal friendship of Salvatore with Boris Giuliano or Mario Francese (both killed by the Mafia in 1979), etc.

The series is set during 1979 and 1980, although within the fiction there are flashbacks in which the narration develops in earlier periods.[2]

Possible future seasons

edit

Interviewed in April 2018, Pif discussed about the possibility of future seasons, because his intent is to narrate the events occurred in Palermo at least until the ones of 1992 (Capaci and Via D'Amelio bombings), as it happened in the 2013 film.[13]

Locations

edit

The series is set mainly in Palermo, in which sometimes are also shown various cultural heritage sites, typical cuisine products or suburban boroughs as Mondello. Part of some episodes is set in various locations of the province as Partinico, Isola delle Femmine, Ficuzza, Corleone, the Garcia Dam and the mount Rocca Busambra.

The fiction was shot between Sicily and Lazio, principally at Civita Castellana, a town of the Province of Viterbo.[14]
