The novels, but especially the TV drama Il commissario Montalbano, have redesigned the map of Sicily. Vigata, Montelusa, Marinella are places that do not exist in reality, but only in the mind and pen of Andrea Camilleri. With all the success that TV has brought, the whole province of Ragusa today travels between reality and fiction, which is why it is so loved by tourists who are passionate about the genre, who today obviously crowd the places of the most famous police commissioner in Italy. Inspector Montalbano has fascinated millions of people throughout Italy and the world for years now. It is one of the longest-running and popular TV series in our country and there are few who do not know the adventures of this original but also somewhat old-fashioned policeman. There are many viewers who want to know where the filming of the series was made. Vigata: The imaginary town is a set of locations taken a little here and a little there between the provinces of Ragusa and Agrigento. Those arriving in Porto Empedocle will find the welcome sign indicating Porto Empedocle Vigata. To honor Andrea Camilleri, author of the novels born right here, and the fame derived from his literary success, the Sicilian Municipality has decided to add that of the imaginary town to its name. The Piazza del Duomo and the Church of San Giorgio are those of Ibla, the old part of Ragusa, as well as many of the streets. The Church of Santa Maria delle Scale is the backdrop to a robbery in the episode The cat and the goldfinch, and glimpses of the Hyblean Garden can be found in The paper moon. The Circolo di Conversazione in Ibla was the set of the scenes of the episode The smell of the night and the restaurant La Rusticana is the one called Da Calogero in the fiction. Montelusa This is where the police station where Salvo Montalbano, Mimì Augello, Giuseppe Fazio and Agatino Catarella work. Montelusa does not exist in reality, but the police station is the building of the Municipality of Scicli.
