Giallo Lipari

Milanese inspector Giorgio Garbo finds himself out of his comfort zone between the shimmering light of the Mediterranean sea and the shadows of contemporary crime, in this gritty and atmospheric noir series set in the Aeolian Islands.
Freshly promoted and hailed by the press as the “golden boy of the Italian police,” Inspector Giorgio Garbo is a Milanese through and through – more at ease with rain, fog, and the Navigli canals than sun and volcanoes. Yet he finds himself at the head of a makeshift police station on an island where the State has never had a real presence. A dead body and a case of cyberstalking welcome him to the idyllic island of Lipari – just as the locals prepare for the San Bartolo festival: behind the holiday glamour of sea-kissed sunsets lies a tangled web fentanyl trafficking and high-end escort rings.
Nicknamed ‘U Milanisi by the locals, Garbo is forced to navigate both literal and metaphorical waters: between hostile colleagues, sweltering heat, and a population wary of outsiders, he must solve a series of dark, interwoven crimes – while longing for ski slopes and polenta.
