Rai is preparing to launch new television productions, including the series ‘Una piccola formalità’ and the crime drama ‘Cagnàz’. 

At the Rome Film Festival, the first two episodes of ‘Cagnàz’ were premiered. Directed by Alessandro Roia and written by Carlo Lucarelli and Gianpiero Rigosi, the series was filmed in Rimini and the Romagna Riviera. The show follows an investigative duo consisting of Marco Cagnani, an unpredictable local, and Roberto Ossani, a colleague from Milan. The production, a collaboration between Garbo and Rai Fiction, intends to explore the darker, ironic side of the region and its local criminal interests rather than traditional imagery.
