The King: Luca Zingaretti’s new life after Montalbano

Being able to distance oneself from the character who earned him success and international recognition is, perhaps, the most difficult challenge that Luca Zingaretti he has had to deal with throughout his long career. A challenge that, however, Zingaretti has chosen to face head on through a new role and a new project, very different from the warm and reassuring atmospheres that enveloped the Inspector Montalbano. The project is called He re, is the first prison drama by Sky Original and sees Zingaretti in the role of Bruno Testori, the director of a border prison where the only law that matters is not that of the state, but his. The series, directed by Giuseppe Gagliardi, already behind the success of the saga of 1992, e available on Sky in March, is raw, dark, ready to introduce to the public another face of Zingaretti’s chameleon talent who, from Montalbano with a villa overlooking the sea, passes to the despotism of a man who feels he is above the law of the courts and of criminal codes.

Al San Michele, main rental of He re, iThe director played by Zingaretti takes on the contours of a dictator willing to do anything to make the staff understand who is in charge and who has the right to have the last word. Even if outside prison the first life that went off the rails is his, inside San Michele Bruno he is an absolute ruler: ruthless with those who deserve it and unexpectedly merciful to others, always following the principles of his own distorted and dark morals. . Yet things aren’t meant to last: when imminent danger threatens the stability of his kingdom, Bruno will do whatever it takes to emerge victorious from the most difficult and bloody war he will have to fight.
