Maria Corleone
The young Maria Corleone has moved from Palermo, Sicily to Milan and is realizing her dream of becoming a stylist; she has a partner, Luca Spada, a young prosecutor with whom she is expecting a child. Having returned to Sicily for the big party for her parents' wedding anniversary, she is involved in an attack that will change her life forever. Little by little Maria will enter the criminal mechanisms of the mafia, coming to terms with her conscience to defend the life and honor of the Corleones: but this will weigh dramatically on her relationship with Luca and their child.
If you’re searching for a series that combines thrilling action, deep character development, and a captivating storyline, look no further than Antimafia Squad (original title: Squadra antimafia – Palermo oggi). This Italian television series immerses viewers into the gritty world of organized crime as it chronicles the struggles between law enforcement and the Mafia in Palermo. With eight seasons and a total of 74 episodes, this show has successfully captured audiences’ attention since its premiere in 2009.
At the center of this gripping narrative are two powerful women: Claudia Mares, played by Simona Cavallari, who serves as the vice chief of police at an elite anti-mafia squad; and Rosy Abate, portrayed by Giulia Michelini, a young woman linked to one of Italy's oldest criminal clans. Their complex relationship forms the emotional core of the series, showcasing not just their professional rivalry but also their shared tragic past. As Claudia leads her team through turbulent investigations and dangerous confrontations with organized crime, viewers witness how personal histories intertwine with broader societal conflicts.
The first season sets a thrilling tone right from its debut episode when Claudia steps into her role after Lauria’s murder, leading her new team on an urgent hunt for his killer. The stakes rise dramatically as mafia families engage in violent turf wars; Episode 2 depicts brutal retaliation from both sides as loyalties are tested. Each episode masterfully escalates tension while simultaneously peeling back layers on its characters’ motives—an outstanding feat for any drama series.
