The new TV series 2Piedone - Uno sbirro a Napoli2 (Flatfoot - A Cop in Naples) starts on Sky in Italy tonight. The series attempts to capture the atmosphere of the old Flatfoot films, but without imitating Bud Spencer's character, even though the new Plattfuß has some similarities, not only in appearance but also in character.
The new flatfoot is called Vincenzo Palmieri, is a police officer with a gruff manner, often grumpy, not always playing by the rules, but with a big heart and an unshakeable belief in justice. The link to the original is that Palmieri was a student of Inspector Rizzo, who is still a legend in Naples. Palmieri is played by Salvatore Esposito, who may be known as the villain Genny Savastano from the series ‘Gomorrha’. In the first episode, Palmieri returns to his hometown of Naples after a long absence, where he now investigates various cases at the police station in the port of Naples.
The series consists of four feature-length episodes, which will premiere today on Sky Cinema Uno. Bud Spencer's son Giuseppe Pedersoli was also involved in the development of the series and the idea. It is not yet known whether the series will be shown in Germany or other countries, but there is hope, as Sky is also active in many countries and some scenes of the series were also shot in Germany.
