Land snow-capped mountains of the Aosta Valley, the cases to be solved, the biting cold, the melancholy atmosphere. And then he, Rocco Schiavone (Marco Giallini), the Roman deputy commissioner who by now he has found a home in a place that does not belong to him and that tonight on Rai 2at 21.25, returns with 4 episodes signed by Simone Spada.
Things, in this fifth season, do not change. Rocco is, as always, foul-mouthed and cynical just enough, melancholy and poised in an almost suspended time in which it dialogues with the dead wife. Nothing stimulates him, not even a possible love can unlock his state of mind. In this fifth season, however, they get richer the lines of the characters that surround himhis friendships and the missed or dodged loves.
Rocco Schiavone 5: the plot of the first episode
The first episode is called The journey continues. Rocco Schiavone he had a bad time after the gunshot fired by mistake by agent D’Intino, which cost him a kidney. But the deputy commissioner returns to his duties. A body is found at three thousand meters on Mont Blanc, right on the border with France. In reality it was in French territory, but someone moved it. Rocco senses this and from him he has the dead man repositioned where he was. We are faced with the classic discharge of responsibility.
From that moment he began a collaboration with the transalpine police and with Isobel (Diana Fleri), a sort of female Rocco Schiavone. Who moved the body and why? Because he had a certain guy’s wallet with him Alexeimountain guide of Courmayeur? Rocco with his usual loden and the always lit cigarette investigates the case, without giving feedback to the French counterpart. It could not have been expected otherwise.
To help him are his colleagues Antonio Scipioni (Albert Lo Porto), who will have a crush on Isobel, e Michael Deruta (Massimiliano Caprara). Meanwhile, it is up to Rocco to prepare the soccer team for a charity match against the magistrates. There will also be something to smile about in this first episode.
Rocco Schiavone is one of us
«Rocco is a bit the truth of life, his strength is the empathy he creates with those who love him and those who can’t stand him», says the director of the series. «In him ethics and morals collide, as in any person who has problems – adds Antonio Manzini – Rocco is one of us, this is his beauty. And the fact that he’s not ashamed to tell the truth.’ And then with this series «we have inaugurated a new way of making fiction – the writer who participated in the screenplay is convinced – We are a group of commandos. We make movies».
Rocco Schiavone is closer to his interpreter than you might imagine. Giallini is perfect for the role. It is now a fact. There couldn’t be an actor who could have played him better. Rocco is a piece of Marco and vice versa. «I’m not a policeman as a job, I don’t solve cases in my life – says the actor – but his indolencethat melancholy that comes with it and the black hole it has inside they belong to me.” Also Giallini lost his wife in 2011 due to a brain hemorrhage.

The only love for the dead wife
We had seen Rocco Schiavone start a story with the journalist Sandra Buccellato (Valeria Solarino). In this episode, the two drift apart again. Rocco wants to be alone. He is obsessed and in love with his wife Marinawho in the fifth season is played by Miriam Dalmazio (and no longer since Isabella Ragonese). He sees her, talks to her and would like to go to her. He can’t think of anything else. This emptiness inner fits in with the atmosphere of the series, which seems to reflect the torment of Schiavone.
The series criticized by the right
Rocco Schiavone was attacked by the right because it tells of a borderline copwho smokes reeds, who swears and often gets involved in shady deals. There was also a parliamentary question. «He’s a cop that exists» comments Manzini. “What should I say about the attacks? – asks Giallini – I can understand why it’s Rai, everyone has their role, but I don’t justify them: if you turn on the television you’ll find anything. If you watch series on Netflix there are those who smoke joints directly in their cradle».
