In the city of Scicli there is the famous police station of the television series "Il Commisario Montalbano".
The series, based on the novels of Andrea Camilleri, tells the story of Salvo Montalbano, police commissioner in the imaginary Sicilian town of Vigata. It is precisely the town hall of the city of Scicli that hosted, during the shooting, the police station of Vigata . There are many scenes shot in front of the town hall and along via Francesco Mormina Penna , the main street of Scicli, where Inspector Montalbano walks with his colleagues, leaves and arrives in his car.
The offices of Montalbano and his colleagues are located on the ground floor of the Town Hall, in the Art Nouveau rooms of the old conversation club. On the first floor of the same building, in the mayor's room, there is what in the fiction is the office of the commissioner of Montelusa . The exterior of the police headquarters, where Montalbano often arrives with his car and parks in the square in front, are those of the Iacono Palace. In the background, in the shots, the church of San Bartolomeo can be recognized.
Along the same street as the town hall are the church of San Michele and the
The office of the mayor of Vigata was instead set inside Palazzo Spadaro in Scicli , the place where the young Montalbano goes in the episode "Wounded in Death".
Another place present in several episodes of "Il Commissario Montalbano" is Piazza Busacca which with its splendid monuments also appears in the fictional theme song.
