We say goodbye to the Second Season of Il Commissario Ricciardi by telling you something more about Enrica Colombo, the woman loved by the protagonist. In the series with Lino Guanciale Enrica has the face of Maria Vera Ratti, whom we interviewed.
It closes this evening, with an episode full of adrenaline and complete with a surprise or twist, the Second season of the Commissioner Ricciardi. Il season finale does not coincide, however, with the farewell to the series dedicated to the character invented by Maurice DeGiovanni. No, in all likelihood the story of the man with the melancholy gaze and who sees the dead will continue in the Third Season, since there is still narrative material to draw from.
Commissioner Ricciardi 2 introduced us to two new characters: Bianca Palmieri of Roccaspina (Florence D’Antonio) e Manfred von Brauchitsch (Christopher Hulsen). We also found, in addition to Ricciardi (Pillow linen), the Brigadier Raffaele Maione (Antonio Milo), singer Livia Lucani (Serena Iansiti), the zealous Angelo Garzo (Mario Pirrello), the housekeeper And long (Veronica D’Elia), the pathologist and anti-fascist Bruno Modo (Enrico Ianniello), the gossip Little girl (Adriano Falivene) and the shy one Enrica (Maria Vera Ratti), who loves, is loved back, Ricciardi.
Meeting with Enrica Colombo, Commissioner Ricciardi’s great love
Own Enrico Colombo is perhaps the most loved character from Maurice DeGiovanni. At the end of the novel “by my hand”which is part of the first cycle dedicated to Commissioner Ricciardithe writer guessed that he ran into Enrica in a short appendix entitled “Meeting with Enrica”. From John make an appointment to Enrica, on a winter day, in a waterfront cafe, expecting a refusal. The young woman, as unpredictable as she is, introduces herself, and the two talk about the parents of Enricaof the sweetness of Rosaof the brother-in-law he adores Mussolini e you Ricciardi. But before, From John makes a nice description of the character. Enrico Colombo she is tall and a little ashamed of it, so she wears flat shoes. She is elegantly dressed but she is perhaps a little too understated, and that makes her look more grown up. She has regular features, a tilted head when she listens to someone speak to her, and long hands that she almost always holds in her lap. Enrica she has a dream: a large family, a house in Vomero or Posillipo, many grandchildren and a man who loves her. From Louis Alfred dice:
I know he loves me. I know, I feel it. And I feel that there is something that stops him, that keeps him away, and that this something doesn’t depend on the strength of what he feels for me.
Enrica knows very well that Livia she is in love with Luigi Alfredo Ricciardi and she is a little jealous, even if she doesn’t doubt the Commissioner’s love. And indeed, before taking leave of From John in the imaginary meeting, he states:
You don’t look at a woman the way he looks at me, if you have feelings for another (…) I saw those desperate green eyes, sir. I’ve seen them and felt them on me, night after night, day after day, and I know what’s inside those eyes. And then I have to keep this feeling. I have to cultivate it. And wait for it to come out, because it will come out. I know it. And I know how to wait.
