The Mafia Kills Only in Summer (Italian: La mafia uccide solo d'estate) is an Italian 2016 television series written by Pif, directed by Luca Ribuoli, produced and broadcast by RAI. Based on the homonym 2013 film, also directed by Pif, it was first aired on Rai 1 from 21 November to 20 December 2016.
The voice-over narrator of the whole series is an adult Salvatore Giammarresi (Pif), a 10 years old boy (Edoardo Buscetta) that tells the story of an ordinary family of Palermo, his one, in the late 1970s.
The ordinary events, viewed from the kid's point of view, are mixed with the historical facts, regarding the Sicilian Mafia (Cosa Nostra), which characterized the city in that period. Alternating reality and TV fiction, there are various storylines related to the Sack of Palermo, to the personal friendship of Salvatore with Boris Giuliano or Mario Francese (both killed by the Mafia in 1979), etc.
Despite being set in the first seven months of 1979, within the fiction there are some flashbacks in which the narration develops in different periods.
Soon after the season 1 finale, Pif declared that he is working to write the second season, and confirmed that it will be aired in 2017.
The series is set mainly in Palermo, in which sometimes are also shown various cultural heritage sites, typical cuisine products or suburban boroughs as Mondello. Part of some episodes is set in various locations of the province as Partinico, Isola delle Femmine, Ficuzza, Corleone, the Garcia Dam and the mount Rocca Busambra.
