In 18th-century Trento, justice wears the face of the Bargello
The Mysteries of the Bargello
In 18th-century Trento—a troubled city strained by crime and archaic laws dating back to the 1500s—a complex web of mysteries, conspiracies, thefts, and murders unfolds, all based on actual historical events. Thirty-year-old Antonio Cavazzani, the city’s chief of guards—known as the "Bargello"—finds himself burdened with the heavy responsibility of leading high-stakes investigations, all while navigating intricate power struggles and the authority of the Prince-Bishop. Filming for the project's pilot episode—based on the popular mystery book series by author Mauro Neri—took place entirely in Trentino.
