Abstract

The article focuses on the Netflix limited series *The Monster of Florence*, which revisits a series of brutal murders between 1968 and 1985 in Italy, where a killer targeted couples in secluded areas around Florence. Based on real investigations and legal proceedings, the series explores the complex and often flawed investigation that implicated multiple suspects without definitive forensic evidence, leaving the identity of the so-called Monster of Florence unresolved. The case involved controversial theories, including satanic rituals and conspiracies, and shares a connection through prosecutor Giuliano Mignini to the later Amanda Knox case, highlighting his contentious investigative methods. The series aims to present the story without endorsing any particular theory, reflecting on Italy's cultural and social context during the period.
