Sky Italia has just announced that the goal for the next few years will be to produce at least 1 original TV series per month, obviously made in Italy.
Romulus is the plastic manifestation of this intent.
It 's good news for fans because it comes from a broadcaster that has amply demonstrated to know what to do when it comes to creating an original product for the small screen.
The eye of the "historian" of TV would immediately look to Boris if he had to indicate the year zero of the Italian seriality.
It is undeniable that Mattia Torre's TV series represented the first attempt, which was very successful, to bring Italy into the new era of TV. An intelligent seriality, "very Italian" as Stannis would have said, very funny and sharp. "Genius", would have exclaimed the 3 scriptwriters present in Boris. And what memories. What a thing!
Romanzo Criminale (Criminal Novel), the adaptation of De Cataldo's novel and Placido's film, would have marked the definitive entry of Italian seriality into the new world, thanks to a product that sank the story into criminal Rome, winking at the American seriality of The Wire and The Sopranos.

It would have been another TV series by Stefano Sollima, Gomorrah, to project the Italian seriality inside the serial Olympus. The crime. The organized crime. The Italian society.
The 3 above mentioned titles have one and only one thing in common: Sky.
It was Sky in fact to produce Boris, Criminal Novel and Gomorrah.
That's why the news with which I opened this post can only cheer us up and make us trust in a brighter and brighter future for the small tricolor screen.
In the wake of this young tradition, as well as forerunner of this new Italian spring, is grafted Petra, the latest and very celbratissima Sky Original series.
