Filming took place in November 2023 in the City and Province of Florence
The first chilling teaser of Netflix’s The Monster of Florence, by Italian genre specialist Stefano Sollima, has been revealed. The highly anticipated serial killer series chronicles a series of sexually motivated murders that occurred outside Florence between the late 1960s and mid-1980s.
Sollima, known for the gritty TV hit “Gomorrah” and movies “Sicario: Day of the Soldado” and “Without Remorse,” spent more than a year researching the still unsolved case of “The Monster” (“Il Mostro,” in Italian), the moniker given to the alleged serial killer who committed eight double murders, preying on couples parked in cars in secluded places around Florence. “The Monster” always used the same weapon, a 22 caliber Beretta. The cold case marks one of the longest investigations into the most brutal serial killings in Italian history.
Locations
The four-episode series was shot in the city of Florence and in the surrounding area in November 2023 for about 10 days. Among the locations involved in the set there are: Firenze (piazza San Firenze, ex Corte d’Appello in via San Gallo, Cimitero di Trespiano), Signa, Mercatale Val Di Pesa, San Casciano in Val di Pesa, Campi Bisenzio.
Netflix has set a fall 2025 release date for the series created by writer Leonardo Fasoli and Sollima, produced by Fremantle-owned The Apartment and Sollima’s AlterEgo. The show’s producers are Lorenzo Mieli, Sollima and Gina Gardini.
