We love both series, too, as does my brother. Last year he visited Sicily and tried to pick out some of the spots featured in the series - he has some great photographs!
The Montalbano books are great holiday reading, too - and give you more background dialogue, and interest, so even if you've seen the 'book title' as a programme, the book itself is just as interesting!

We love it, recorded the last two episodes and not to fall behind we watched them both in the same evening. With the subtitles it was like reading a book for a solid three hours and are quite adept at reading the subtitles and not losing the visual plot now
Love the young Montalbano character.

My friend who is a teacher of Italian in the UK tells me that you can actually rent an apartment in the block used to film the original Montalbano. Its in Punta Secca apparently. We've never been to Sicily but I feel tempted by the beautiful scenery.

Another huge fan of both TV series and books here! They did a later series of the original Montalbano last year, the actors looked slightly different, but still excellent viewing. Friends of ours who visited Sicily a couple of years ago said that his seafront
house is a holiday let and you can stay there! It is also a culinary and cultural delight, episode by episode!
