Series Brief

Overview

Rome, 30 April 1993. A crowd throws coins at Italian politician Bettino Craxi - as if the Civil War has begun. Be quick if you want a place in the new system. Now, it's every man for himself. 1993 is the last chance to set up the Second Republic. Everyone fights their own battles.

Why fans love it

The drama captures a pivotal, turbulent turning point in Italian history, plunging directly into the chaos of 1993 as the country's old political order collapses under waves of corruption. The appeal lies in its sharp focus on the cynical scramble for influence during the dawn of the Second Republic, tracing the shifting allegiances and fierce ambitions that cleared the path for figures like Berlusconi.

Instead of delivering a dry historical breakdown, the narrative treats this transitional era as a ruthless free-for-all where every character fights to carve out a spot in the new system. Anchored by performances from a cast that includes Stefano Accorsi, the series turns the real-world political fallout, greed, and opportunism of nineties Italy into a compelling study of power in flux.
