The Monster of Florence is a 2025 Italian-French crime mini-series directed by Stefano Sollima, unraveling one of Europe's most haunting unsolved murder cases — a real-life serial killer who terrorized the Tuscan countryside across two decades and was never brought to justice.
What is The Monster Of Florence about?
Across multiple episodes, the series reconstructs the chilling sequence of attacks that left couples dead in the hills surrounding Florence between the late 1960s and 1980s. Investigators struggle to piece together scattered evidence, witness accounts, and cold-case records from 1968 in hopes of identifying a perpetrator who seemed to vanish after each killing. The show moves between the pressure-filled police rooms and the rural landscapes where the crimes unfolded, capturing both procedural frustration and the psychological weight of an unsolved case that divided a city and haunted a generation.
Cast & crew
Director Stefano Sollima brings the unflinching style he honed on Gomorrah and Suburra to this real-crime reconstruction. The ensemble includes Marco Bullitta and Valentino Mannias as central investigative figures, supported by Francesca Olia, Liliana Bottone, Giacomo Fadda, Antonio Tintis, and Barbara Pitzianti — an Italian cast that grounds the story in authentic regional texture.
Context & significance
For Persian-speaking viewers in the diaspora, true-crime narratives rooted in real historical events carry a particular pull — especially when the justice system itself becomes part of the story. The Monster of Florence draws from documented Italian court records and journalistic investigations, making it a serious procedural rather than sensationalized entertainment. The series is fully available in Persian dub and with Persian subtitles on K-Time, so viewers can follow the dense investigative dialogue without missing detail. Its Italian setting, Mediterranean atmosphere, and bureaucratic friction will feel surprisingly familiar to anyone who has watched classic Persian crime dramas.
