The marshal Rocca
The adventures of the marshal of the carabinieri Giovanni Rocca, played by the great Gigi Proietti. Definitely one of the most successful Rai fictions ever, the series, after the first eight episodes broadcast in 1996, went on for six seasons, ending only in 2008. For over a decade the investigations and the private life of the marshal of Viterbo , born from an idea by Laura Toscano, have fascinated the television audience, making them become attached to characters such as the beautiful pharmacist Margherita (Stefania Sandrelli) or the brigadier Cacciapuoti (Sergio Fiorentini).

Seasons
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.
