All the investigations of the beloved Inspector Montalbano, created by the imagination and pen of the writer Andrea Camilleri, occur around what the writer calls Vigata in the imaginary province of Montelusa.

In reality, it corresponds to Porto Empedocle (two steps from the famous Scala dei Turchi), in the province of Agrigento. However, most of the settings of the tv series are not Agrigento, but Ragusa and Ragusa Ibla.
