The pilot episode attracted the largest audience of the night, amassing 3.284 million viewers, more than double the network average at the time. The series was praised for its "modern and demanding" visuals and dark setting, but its second season was criticized as "excessively distressing".


Series overview


Trieste. Leonardo Cagliostro (Lino Guanciale), an impulsive police commissioner not at all inclined to follow procedures and directives dictated by his superiors, is investigating the most difficult case of his career: his own murder.

In fact, Cagliostro was killed during a solitary police action, but, instead of walking through the red door leading to the afterlife, he chose to stay in the earthly world, thus becoming a ghost, to find his killer: this is the only way he'll be able to save his estranged wife, magistrate Anna Mayer (Gabriella Pession), who, according to some visions that Cagliostro has been having since his death, will be murdered by the same killer during the Christmas season. He is helped by Vanessa Rosic (Valentina Romani), a 17-year-old student who finds out she can communicate with the dead and is the only one who can see and hear him, and Jonas Sala (Andrea Bosca), a fellow ghost who helps Cagliostro to get used to his new condition.

Cagliostro soon finds out that his killer, most likely, is one of his colleagues, who would therefore be leading a double life linked to the trafficking of a new lethal drug plaguing Trieste, the Red Ghost, that the commissioner was investigating just before being killed. However, all of his colleagues seem to have something to hide and therefore are all possible suspects. Even Antonio Piras (Ettore Bassi), Anna's colleague who has always been in love with her and always harbored a mutual, ill-concealed hatred towards Cagliostro, and Anna's father, Elvio (Tommaso Ragno), who never approved of their wedding, seem to have skeletons in their closets.

Production


The series production started in 2015, and its working title was La verità di Anna (lit. 'Anna's Truth').[2] Creator Carlo Lucarelli described the writing process as particularly long, because "we were told it was too thriller, too little melodramatic, too fantasy or too little fantasy".[3] Originally set in Turin, Piedmont, it was moved to Trieste, Friuli Venezia Giulia, at the suggestion of director Carmine Elia, who had already shot a movie there in 2003.[4] Screenwriters Giampiero Rigosi and Sofia Assirelli visited the city in October 2015 to adapt the script to the setting.[2] Filming took place from February 29 to July 9, 2016 in locations such as the Porto Vecchio, the Melara district, Piazza Unità d'Italia and the Canal Grande, while a mountain scene was filmed for two days in Ravascletto.[4] La porta rossa marked Lino Guanciale's first leading role.[5] To play Cagliostro, the actor rewatched The Sixth Sense and River, and reread Thomas Mann and Fyodor Dostoevsky, likening his character to Ivan Karamazov "who gets crazy when he cannot give himself a logical explanation of the world".[6]

Rai Fiction director Eleonora Andreatta confirmed there would be a second season the day after the broadcast of the first season finale.[7] The script reading was held on May 21, 2018, while filming took place from May 28[8] to October 20[9] in Trieste and at the Angoris Estate in Cormons.[10]

The third and final season,[11] directed by Gianpaolo Tescari,[12] was confirmed on January 24, 2019 when Trieste and the FVG Film Commission renewed their collaboration to film movies, TV series and documentaries in the city.[13] Lino Guanciale further confirmed it on March 20, breaking his own rule of leaving a series after two seasons.[14] Filming was supposed to start in January 2020,[15] but was postponed because of the COVID-19 lockdowns in Italy.[16] It ultimately took place from August 30[12] to December 8, 2021.[17] Filming locations included Palazzo Carciotti, the Porto Vecchio, the Opicina power plant, Palazzo Vivante, the bathing establishment Ausonia in Trieste, and the Rupinpiccolo quarry in Sgonico.[18][19] Later in July it was confirmed as part of the 2022–23 Rai television schedule.[20]


Original soundtrack


The series soundtrack is composed by Stefano Lentini and performed by the RAI National Symphony Orchestra conducted by Emanuele Bossi.[21] It was mixed at Air Studios by Geoff Foster and mastered by John Webber. The opening theme It's Not Impossible was composed by Stefano Lentini and Charlie Winston. The soundtrack albums for both seasons were made available for digital download, and a CD was included in each season DVD box.[22][23][24]


Reception



Critical response


Movieplayer's Stefano Cocci gave the first season 3.5 stars out of 5, defining it as "an important experiment in the production landscape of Italian fiction". He praised the "modern and demanding" visuals and the narrative that "plays on the alternation of thriller, noir, romance and fantasy, often finding a resource in the alternating editing that underlines the highlight of each episode. Actors and actresses often move at night in a Trieste whipped by wind and rain, while the dark places of the characters' souls twist in the half-light where nothing is what it seems."[25]

DavideMaggio.it's Stefania Stefanelli criticized the second season plot as "forced, complex and excessively distressing".[26]


Ratings


The series premiere of La porta rossa on February 22, 2017 was the most watched program of the night, amassing 3.284 million viewers, or a 13% rating,[27] more than double the network average.[25] The ratings continued to rise episode after episode, and the penultimate one of the first season recorded a 14.4% viewership rating with 3.399 million viewers. The series was one of the most streamed programs on RaiPlay as well.[28]

The second season premiered on February 13, 2019 as one of the most anticipated shows of the year,[29] amassing 3.043 million viewers, or a 12.5% rating.[30] Compared to the first season, it recorded slightly lower ratings, also affected by the simultaneous broadcasting of the football championships on Rai 1, and the finale was watched by 2.807 million viewers (a 12.4% viewership rating).[14][31][32]

The series audience was mainly composed of females (63%), while 62% of the viewers were over 55.[33]
