The Marshal Rocca

8 episodes · 1996

Giovanni Rocca is a cunning Carabinieri marshal who works at a barracks in Viterbo. A widower for many years, he has three children: Giacomo, Daniela, and Roberto. His investigations often involve his family, but thanks to his intuition, the marshal always sniffs out the right leads, managing to protect his loved ones and bring criminals to justice. The episode that will profoundly impact the first season is the untimely death of Carabiniere Antonio Fait, one of Rocca's best men, killed by a gang of drug traffickers. However, love is not lacking: the marshal begins a relationship with the pharmacist Margherita, dividing his time between her, his family, and his work.

This season, too, the Marshal must balance family and work, and it's not easy when Margherita, just days before her wedding, is arrested for the murder of her ex-husband, or when their honeymoon is interrupted by a murder. Furthermore, the Marshal must confront a serial killer who preys on young girls: the first is a single mother, the second is the sister of Corporal Banti. Fortunately, the Marshal intervenes just in time to prevent the killer from killing his daughter, Daniela. Rocca then has to give in to Margherita's desire for motherhood, and the two win custody of Tommy, the newborn son of the killer's first victim. Another happy event in the Rocca household occurs when Giacomo's girlfriend discovers she is pregnant.
