"An Apricot" is more than a season finale; it is the definitive origin story for the Inspector Montalbano we know in the original series. It illustrates that his commitment to justice and his "Sicilian-ness" are inseparable, even at the cost of his personal happiness with Livia.
A small apricot stone and a coral necklace become the subtle keys to unpicking the truth.
The narrative shifts from a standard procedural to a profound character study with the intrusion of real-life Sicilian history.
On May 23, 1992, as Montalbano is driving to the airport to fly to Genoa, news breaks of the assassination of Judge Giovanni Falcone.
