For 15 years, Criminal Love has been telling stories cases of feminicide that actually occurred in Italy. Each episode is dedicated to the memory of a woman who was a victim of violence, harassment, abuse and who unfortunately was unable to survive as she was killed by her partner.
Each story, accompanied by narrator’s voice, is reconstructed deepening the psychological aspects to the judicial and procedural implications. Through the use of the docu-fiction the reconstruction takes place by means of the union of different narrative languages: fiction, repertoire, documentary and interviews. Indeed, they intervene friends and family of the victims but also lawyers, investigators, magistrates and experts who followed the case.
The transmission in addition to carrying on an important battle of social denunciation it’s a awareness campaign against violence against womenalso has another purpose. It is to examine what factors influence male violence. So that alarm bells can be recognized in time.
All the stories of violence told to Amore Criminale are always linked by a common denominator, namely the possession. In fact, their partners are considered as a “property”, an extension of themselves. For this reason they often tend, as a first phase, to isolate them from friends and relatives, in order to have full control over it.

The format is designed Matilde D’Errico and Maurizio Iannelli. It is written with Roman Morocco and Elena Mandarano. It is made in collaboration with the‘Arma dei Carabinieri and is produced by Palomar.
