1992 is an Italian political drama television series created by Alessandro Fabbri, Ludovica Rampoldi, Stefano Sardo and based on an idea by Stefano Accorsi. The first season, comprising ten episodes, premiered on March 24, 2015, on pay-tv Sky Italia channels Sky Atlantic and Sky Cinema 1.

Set in Rome, Milan and different Italian cities, the TV series offers a thrilling story following six people whose lives are intertwined with the rapidly changing political landscape in the early 1990s, during which Italy was gripped by the Clean Hands investigation into political corruption. Subsequently, this led to the end of the "First Republic" as well as the termination of several Italian political parties, who created the Italian democratic system after WWII. This controversial period in Italy resulted in the suicide of various political figures.

The series has been compared to House of Cards, The Sopranos, and The West Wing.

In the winter of 1991-92, the political change is blowing in Italy. The year of the Clean Hands has begun, a major criminal investigation set up by the Milan District Attorney. Leonardo Notte (Stefano Accorsi) is the pivotal point in this intricate power-play, a slick, brilliant advertising man who believes only in himself, and who'll be in the front row when a new savior steps into the arena.

The biggest fish caught so far is Michele Mainaghi (Tommaso Ragno), a mighty Milanese entrepreneur whose pharmaceutical firm sold tainted blood that infected many innocent citizens. This is how Luca Pastore (Domenico Diele) contracted AIDS. The young cop, part of the Mani Pulite team led by Antonio di Pietro, now seeks revenge and goes on to meet Rocco Venturi (Alessandro Roja) another police officer with a dark side. The married man Mainaghi has another problem: his ravishingly beautiful mistress Veronica Castello (Miriam Leone), who wants a career on national TV. After he falls out of grace, she falls back on her one-time lover Leonardo Notte, who is haunted by a secret from his past. Bibi Mainaghi (Tea Falco) is the spoiled daughter of a wealthy industrial tycoon at the center of the country’s system of corrupt political and business cronies.
