Discovering the locations of Montalbano in Sicily, a land of sunshine and rich history, is also the natural set for one of Italy's most beloved TV series: Commissioner Montalbano.
For fans of the series, there's nothing more exciting than visiting the places where the most iconic scenes were filmed. Here's how a personalized tour, starting from Catania aboard cars with drivers rented for the occasion, can turn into an unforgettable adventure on the tracks of the famous commissioner.
Italian Breakfast: The First Step Towards Adventure
The day starts early in Catania, where our guests are welcomed by the cars with drivers they have rented. The first unmissable stop is breakfast in a typical local pastry shop to taste the famous Sicilian granitas and brioches, a real morning ritual for Sicilians. Between a sip of coffee and a bite of the soft brioche, the enthusiasm grows: we set off for the locations of Montalbano.
Punta Secca: The Commissioner's House
The first destination is Punta Secca, a small seaside village that has gained international fame thanks to the series. Here, right by the sea, is Montalbano's house, with its unmistakable white façade. Fans of the series cannot resist the charm of walking on the beach where the commissioner loves to take his morning swim. The atmosphere is serene, almost as if you can hear his voice discussing unsolved cases with Fazio.
Discovering the Locations of Montalbano: Scicli, a Dive into the Baroque
After visiting Punta Secca, the tour proceeds to Scicli, a jewel of Sicilian Baroque that has served as the backdrop for numerous scenes of the series. With its cobbled streets and historic buildings, Scicli seems like an open-air film set. Here, guests can visit the Town Hall, transformed into the offices of the Vigata police station in the fiction. The magnificence of its Baroque interiors and the breathtaking view of the surrounding landscape leave everyone breathless.
Characters and Stories: The Soul of the Tour
During the tour to discover the Locations of Montalbano, there are encounters with characters who seem to have stepped directly out of the series. From an elderly gentleman who tells anecdotes about the places of Montalbano to a local guide who surprisingly resembles Catarella. Each encounter is a piece of that authentic and unique Sicily that serves as the backdrop to the commissioner's adventures.
Discovering the Locations of Montalbano: More Than a Tour, an Experience
Returning to Catania at sunset, with the golden light illuminating the Sicilian landscapes, the guests bring back not only photographs but stories and memories of a journey through Montalbano's Sicily. This tour was not just a visit to the locations of the series but a dive into the culture and unique atmosphere of this land. A land that continues to enchant and inspire visitors from all over the world.
