A new miniseries, L’invisibile, is set to premiere tonight, Tuesday, February 3rd, and continue tomorrow, Wednesday, February 4th, on Rai 1. The series, directed by Michele Soavi and produced by Pietro Valsecchi, dramatizes the capture of Matteo Messina Denaro, a notorious mafia boss, which occurred on January 16th three years prior in Palermo.

The Pursuit of a Fugitive

The series centers on Colonel Lucio Gambera (Lino Guanciale), who leads a team of Carabinieri from the Ros tasked with locating Messina Denaro (Ninni Bruschetta). Gambera’s team includes Maresciallo Sancho (Massimo De Lorenzo), technician Ram (Leo Gassmann), agents Dago (Giacomo Stallone) and Giove (Bernardo Casertano), driver Nikita (Noemi Brando), and identikit expert Garcia (Roberto Scorza). They are given a three-month window to complete “Operation Tramonto,” named after a poem written by a young victim of the boss.

Did You Know? The operation to capture Messina Denaro was named “Tramonto” (Sunset) in honor of a poem penned by a young victim of the mafia boss.

The first two episodes, airing tonight, depict a series of unsuccessful raids, leading Gambera to suspect a mole within his own team. The second two episodes, scheduled for tomorrow, February 4th, will continue the investigation.

Personal Toll and Internal Threats

Episode 2 reveals growing tensions within the investigation. Gambera confides his suspicions to Sancho, initiating an internal investigation to identify the potential informant. The pursuit also takes a personal toll, straining Gambera’s relationship with his wife, Maria (Levante), and their children. Adding to the complications, the wife of Vice Procurator Paolo Guido (Paolo Briguglia), who assists Gambera, falls seriously ill with pneumonia.

Expert Insight: The depiction of the investigation’s impact on the personal lives of those involved highlights the all-consuming nature of pursuing high-profile criminal cases and the sacrifices often made by law enforcement and their families.

Despite these setbacks, a major raid leads to the arrest of key figures in Messina Denaro’s network, intensifying the pressure to unmask the traitor within the team.

The Final Pursuit

The latter episodes focus on the team’s efforts following the discovery of the mole. They work to reinforce signal interception by installing an antenna on Monte Catalfano, near Palermo. A tragic event during this mission further impacts the team. An infiltration of the home of Rosalia (Simona Malato), Messina Denaro’s sister, yields a crucial clue.

the team traces Messina Denaro’s movements to a clinic in Palermo, confirming their suspicions. This leads to a large-scale operation involving the GIS and other territorial forces, culminating in his capture on January 16th.
