About Us
About Us: We are Joe and Giulia, husband and wife, authors of this blog. As fans of the Inspector Montalbano TV series and Andrea Camilleri’s books, we visited Italy a few years ago. We were motivated to learn about Montalbano’s Sicily. We fell in love with Sicily, and we stayed to live in Ragusa. Why Ragusa? It is easy to fall in love with the city where Salvo Montalbano grew up, to enjoy walking through the streets with its baroque art, to taste the Sicilian cuisine, and to enjoy the proximity of the best beaches of Sicily (Marina di Ragusa, Scoglitti, Cefalù, etc.).
All Montalbano filming locations are real, can be visited, and are located in the province of Ragusa, in Sicily! We are Joe (in Italian, Giuseppe) and Giulia (from Italy), and we invite you to discover Montalbano’s Sicily through our blog.
On this website, we show you which are the filming locations of Montalbano’s episodes and how to get there and visit them in person! We explain how to get (and sleep) in Montalbano’s house. How to get to the police station in Vigata (Vigàta), and all the locations that are familiar to you from the episodes.
Also, there is a section including FAQs from our readers asking about both Camilleri’s books and the TV series episodes.
You will find a section with Inspector Montalbano’s recipes and his favourite food recipes (like the famous Montalbano Pasta Ncasciata Recipe) and traditional Sicilian dishes (like Arancini Sicilian Rice Balls, caponata, cannoli, focaccia, cornetto, granita, ragù, pasta with broccoli, etc.).
We know that the TV series Inspector Montalbano has different names depending on the country. Inspector Montalbano (UK), Detective Montalbano (USA), or Il Commissario Montalbano (Italy), El Comisario Montalbano (Spain), Commissaire Montalbano (France), etc.). That’s why on this site we include the information searched in other countries in our home section with a main menu in Español, Italiano, Français, English, etc.
Finally, we explain how and where to watch Inspector Montalbano online (English), and in Spanish from in different countries.
