The Marshal Rocca

1996–2008 · 6 seasons

A gentle, character-driven Italian crime drama that feels like catching up with old friends in a sunlit provincial town.

Created by
Laura Toscano
Genres
Comedy, Drama, Crime
Starring
Gigi Proietti, Stefania Sandrelli, Veronica Pivetti
Overview
The adventures of the marshal of the carabinieri Giovanni Rocca, played by the great Gigi Proietti. Definitely one of the most successful Rai fictions ever, the series, after the first eight episodes broadcast in 1996, went on for six seasons, ending only in 2008. For over a decade the investigations and the private life of the marshal of Viterbo , born from an idea by Laura Toscano, have fascinated the television audience, making them become attached to characters such as the beautiful pharmacist Margherita (Stefania Sandrelli) or the brigadier Cacciapuoti (Sergio Fiorentini).
