Les Films du Losange Takes Sales on Mafia Drama ‘Sicilian Letters’ as First-Look Images of Elio Germano and Toni Servillo Are Revealed (EXCLUSIVE)
Les Films du Losange is taking sales on Mafia drama 'Sicilian Letters' starring Elio Germano as a top Mafia boss and Toni Servillo as his antagonist.
As the show tells the story of the two working in tandem for the first time, the title refers to a surreptitious correspondence between them using “pizzini,” the small slips of paper that the Sicilian Mafia uses for high-level communications. The top mafioso, convicted of masterminding some of Italy’s most heinous slayings – including the killings of prosecutors Giovanni Falcone and Paolo Borsellino – subsequently died in September 2023 in a maximum-security prison. While studying the boss from judicial documents, they came across the fact that in 2004, an attempt was made by Italian secret services to capture him by recruiting a former local politician who had been incarcerated due to Mafia ties to begin a surreptitious correspondence with him.
