The series is based on the "Marshal Fenoglio" trilogy by Gianrico Carofiglio. Tension is sky-high in 1991, following an arson attack on the Petruzzelli Theatre, the beating heart of Bari: ambush, murder and mafia killings with no corpses (lupara bianca) are rife, creating a climate of terror that makes life in the city impossible. Marshal Pietro Fenoglio (Alessio Boni) cannot figure out the reasons for this unprecedented explosion of violence, until an unexpected and shocking fact emerges: the son of Nicola Grimaldi, the most powerful and ruthless boss in the area, has been kidnapped.
Suspicion falls on Vito Lopez, Grimaldi’s former right-hand man: the friendship that had bound them for years has ruptured, resulting in a deadly fratricidal struggle. Is Lopez really the architect of the feud or is he just another scapegoat? This question torments Fenoglio, while on the increasingly dark horizon of national events mafia attacks the very heart of the State with the massacre of Giovanni Falcone, Paolo Borsellino and their escorts.
Filmed in 2022 mainly in Bari (with some scenes in Mola di Bari), Il metodo Fenoglio offers the epic story of how the crime scene in Bari became a fully organised criminal organisation in the Nineties, just as cosa nostra in Sicily was attacking the State at its heart with the massacres of Giovanni Falcone, Paolo Borsellino and their escorts. Fenoglio's investigations show a refined and welcoming city, mixing daytime shots with panoramic views, often over the sea, showing the illuminated city at night.
