Always elegant, witty and merciless when needed: Lorenzo Ligas would be the best criminal lawyer at the Milan Bar if it weren't for his uncanny ability to self-sabotage.The sick mind is quick, unstoppable, for him even the smallest detail tells a story, a jewel is a hook, a word is a weapon used in the courtroom.But its greatest gift is a curse, for it is an escape from boredom and the constant need for challenge.aspiration, the disease makes life difficult for him and his loved ones.So he recently had a daughter, Laura, with his wife, Patrizia, an excellent corporate lawyer.And when the head of the prestigious law firm where he is a partner, Michele Petrello, fires him for a "personal" matter (a fancy way of saying he sleeps with his wife), Ligas suddenly finds himself unemployed and at war with his former colleagues.Even Paolo, his best friend and colleague (former colleague), can't seem to do anything this time.Whatever the situation, there is no way out for anyone else, because the Disease becomes a worthy test of its capabilities.So, accompanied by a young practitioner, Marta Carati, who is looking for advice, Ligas practices law in the pool of an exclusive club.His clients are like him in a way: they are the black sheep, the outcasts, the people no one would ever want to protect.The characters are not always morally perfect, but according to the Disease, they are innocent until proven guilty and deserve the best protection.That is, his.

Luca Arentero to Lorenzo Ligas

A lawyer.More specifically: a criminal lawyer.Nobody should be defined by their work, but Ligas has no problem doing that: he is not a lawyer, he is a lawyer.Still one of the best.What makes him special is his analytical, insightful, clinical, bordering on maniacal head: the details, the subtleties, the details find a natural and immediate order in his mind that allows him to read the reality beyond visibility.After all, Ligas goes well with appearance: he is a man who likes to look perfect, elegant in his clothes, well-groomed in his body, refined in his accessories.Maybe - but he would never admit it - it made him hide his inner demons.After all, Ligas has quite a few flaws.On the contrary: although no one denies that he is intelligent, good, knowledgeable, gifted with a lively humor, for those who know him - be it his wife, his girlfriend or his colleague - other adjectives come to mind to describe him: cynical, rude, unfaithful, sexually restless ... an ass.And when we meet him, Ligas is at a delicate moment in his life: he and his wife are drifting into separate lives at home, waiting for Ligas to finally realize that everything is over and his path with his wife, Patricia, is diverging.At this delicate moment, a new storm will break out in Ligas: he is fired from the company he has worked for all his professional life, fired by his master, the man who taught him everything and whom our "hero" repays by taking his wife to bed.So here is Ligas: no family, no training, who must start all over again, and the company only on a full bottle (but soon empty).

Production Details - Sky Studios

Among the antiheroes we've always featured in our story, gangsters, unscrupulous politicians and spies, we lacked a lawyer.We wanted to do something new.We wanted to do something bold, something memorable and also something that would entertain people, make them feel good.Then we met Lorenzo Ligas, read an interesting novel by the late Gianluca Ferraris and knew we had found the story we were looking for.That's why we're delighted to bring Sky's first legal show to our viewers.

A tireless and surprising series, which we can only prepare with Fabula.One summer after that amazing adventure, we couldn't wait to get back on the track together.That's why we're excited to introduce everyone to Lorenzo Ligas, the slapper you'll love and hate, the most controversial lawyer in the Milan Bar Association, but everyone's on your side when you're accused of murder.

What excites us about this character is the opportunity to explore its subjects, themes and contemporary taste, often inspired by news stories that shake public opinion and, at the same time, do it through a negative, flawed person.The series is very serious and at the same time entertaining thanks to the great talent of a great team of writers led by Federico Baccomo and the thought and pain of Fabio Paladini.The result is a rich new direction.

To play the League in this charming and shadowy Milan, we needed someone with a lot of charisma, savoir faire and the arrogant smile of those who are looking for him.In short, Luca Argentero.Who risked more than we asked for, a wrong, sharp life, full of charismatic character and at the same time unexpected subtleties.Everyone who sees your secrets, you.A defiant character who despises you... and in the end he's right.Ladies and gentlemen, to you, Lorenzo Ligas.Only in heaven.

Production Notes - Fabula Pictures

By chance Gianluca Ferraris dream "Perdenti" came into my hands, the blue print on the front pages.I knew that Lorenzo Ligas was the pillar of the great series;Ligas is a man who remains uncertain but manages to find truth where others see chaos.Because for us Avvocato Ligas is more than just a series.

It is a project we care deeply about: a way to talk about contemporaneity with all its contradictions and the constant search for balance in a complex world.And Sky helped us make it happen: they gave us the freedom to create a strong, mature, modern and European story.We envisioned the series as a legal drama, a slightly off-the-rails mix of crime, noir, and plenty of irony to not take itself too seriously even in its most difficult moments.Each episode is a case to be solved, but also a new scratch in the main character's soul.In short, the real court is his.An ironic, poignant and at the same time mainstream story dimension in a “case of the week” procedural format that is still little used here in Italy.Visually, Avvocato Ligas is an urban series in the truest sense of the word.The viewer is immersed in the city of Milan without perceiving Milan itself and thus stereotyping its strengths and weaknesses.And so let the heroes burst the "territorial" bubble and become one with the investigation and the city structure.We didn't bother making Milan the main character, simply because it wasn't necessary.It was there with all its contrasts and the effects it has on its citizens.It is a city that easily leaves you alone, but that fascinates and attracts you, and Ligas also suffers from this.We needed a super artist and we really wanted Luca Argentoro.Luke understood and embodied an extraordinary Lorenzo League: witty, charming and ironic slapstick.An amazing performance by the great director Fabio Paladini and accompanied by a brilliant writing style under the direction of Federico Baccomo.

Director's Notes

Each head works differently.Each view casts its own perspective on reality.The world of League is a contradictory place, where strictness and disorder, charm and self-destruction coexist.Ligas is brilliant but compulsive, elegant but excessive.On the one hand, excessive alcohol consumption, complete unreliability, broken love life, on the other hand, innate elegance and charm, but also sobriety and the strict status of the law.This duality guided every style choice.

Photography is soft and charming, but often applied to a colorful and lively world.A balanced composition and a "warm" handle replaces strict symmetry and clean movements with the camera.Car points are often irregular to express the unique way in which Ligas observes the world.Editing is dynamic, piecemeal: many shots, many points of view, the hero's analytical pressure, the ability to break reality and reconstruct it according to unexpected logic.This reality "attacks" Ligas' mind (which provides some relief from the constant barrage of alcohol).To achieve this effect, I chose to use a special lens that takes him in front of us and then back into his mind: these are the keys to solving cases with very quick, almost unconscious control, or to seeing with sudden clarity into the personal and emotional realm.

In Ligas, I wanted a personal, different way of interpreting legal drama: intimate, vivid, but also problematic.Because the real case to be solved in this series, first and foremost, is Ligas himself.

script notes

Legas is an original and surprising example of an Italian serial event.He is a good criminal lawyer, whimsical, nonconformist, sick of rules, able to exercise intuition but for sensational mistakes.Not with the hero, and the anti-hero, or both, he carries with him the same ambiguity of the impossible - the unknown - of the reasons related to him: important matters, explain the measure of today's Italian and its profound contradictions.In this sense, the series presents a very interesting writing challenge: it involves creating a kind of complexity, with many lights and many shadows, in order to win over the public without shaking or diminishing the character or the situations in which he finds himself.

Ligas knows how to be moved, angry, and even disappointed, but precisely in this contradictory character there is the power of a person who investigates the idea of ​​justice without fear of living in two places, bad and right.The challenge naturally extends to the realm of legal proceedings, the true beating heart of the series.Each case is built to go beyond a simple judicial system: now, its gray areas, the joint and individual responsibility that is asked of Ligas never takes the situation in an easy way: it raises questions, undermines certain things, reveals differences.Cases are morally ambiguous, often uncomfortable, and confront the opponent with real problems.Defending a person, for Ligas, does not mean justifying: it means understanding where the truth lies.The tone of the series is real and bright, always balanced between tension and action, with sharp dialogues and provocative drama, with alternating levels between meditation and surprise.Ligas is finally based on the canons of good humor and sometimes wrong, which aims to entertain and include, but without departing from the difficult or painful situations of reality, trying to tell the complexity of the person, on the one hand, through the distorted mirror of the law, on the other hand, through the antagonist who is not satisfied with the perfect goal of freedom. on the screen a legal drama that is also a sign of our time.

The images of Avvocato Ligas aim to interpret the difficulty and the secondary importance (genius vs self-destruction).They chose a soft and beautiful light - as beautiful as the world that Ligas lives in - combined with a good color of color to show the beauty of Ligas' thoughts and the humor in his eyes.

The search for beauty is a constant in the history of the series, but we did not give up - sometimes - to destroy the "special" idea that always sees the model in the background: On the contrary, we look for "unbalanced", with random lenses and cameras.This is why we use a composition that is often unbalanced so that the center of the subject is lost in the frame.in more formal places, such as courts, classrooms and law offices, a proper and monochromatic light (wood, marble) will dominate, almost without shadows, which emphasizes the rigor and accuracy of the organization, apart from the carelessness of the person.However, at night, there are warm and cool places where you can breathe an atmosphere of crime and intimacy.Sometimes the night light shines with bright and intense colors, close to a pop/kitsch aesthetic, showing the abundance and unrestrained nightlife.

Avvocato Ligas has given us the opportunity to tell the new city of Milan, far from the sharp image of the shiny city and the gray vertical metropolis.We have chosen to explore the intimacy, the layers and sometimes the opposite face of the city, reflecting the many aspects of the protagonist: lawyer Ligas, an elegant, brilliant, stubborn and determined man, but also chaotic and borderline.

The narrative unfolds through spaces that speak of his apparent decline but also of his resistance: from the monumental interiors of Milan's Palace of Justice, recreated in prestigious Roman locations, to the muted environments of luxury hotels and restaurants in which Ligas moves with ease, often with a drink in hand.From the tables of the bar of the sports club of which he is a member, where he improvises his new office after being evicted from the historic and prestigious one in the center of Milan, we are transported to the old childhood home to which he is forced to return after the separation from his wife, passing through the interior of the San Vittore prison - also reinterpreted in Rome - to the exterior and very original corridors of Villa Lita in Lainate, where he organizes a great party for his daughtersi.birthdayWe visually built a Milan tailored to the lawyer Ligas: an elegant city, but also dirty with life, in which he finds himself, in spite of himself, as the hero of the losers, becoming a point of balance - and sometimes of rupture - between worlds that rarely touch.The city is therefore as much a protagonist as the characters, with glimpses that are deliberately out of focus compared to the conventional narrative.Alternating the typical interior design of the Milanese city with rationalist architecture, through gyms and suburban cooperatives, to the enchanting Milan at night, we sought settings that reflected Ligas' personality: impeccable in appearance, but deeply off-axis.

Symbolic locations were carefully chosen for the production, reflecting the multifaceted soul of Milan, suspended between the past and the future.Each setting contributes to the story, restoring authenticity and visual depth.The majestic Palace of Justice on Corso di Porta Vittoria, with its rationalistic grandeur, contains the most intense scenes related to the legal world.

The office of Lawyer Ligas is located in an elegant building in Piazza San Babila, inside the fashion square: a symbol of ambition, sophistication and style.The camera moves around the city and captures it from different angles.From the Navigli to the skyscrapers of Porta Nuova with its elegant and romantic atmosphere, the innovation-oriented icon of modern Milan.Brera, with its literary restaurants, art shops and timeless elegance, is a refuge for the lawyer in his moments of reflection, and Isola represents a young, lively, creative Milan.In each episode, Milan shows his toughness, becoming a real character.With its harmonious contrasts between innovation and tradition, beauty and truth, it provides the perfect context for the cases of the modern lawyer called to solve complex cases that reflect the cultural misunderstandings of our time.

The character of Ligas was the cornerstone of the work on the costumes from the first meeting.Luca Argentiero immediately expressed a clear desire: drought.unfrozen formal severity, anonymous modesty.We have chosen a wardrobe that is important but refined.Sometimes it is important that the clothes are not visible, accompany the characters in an intelligent way, convey a certain wealth - style - character - without showing off.In this sense, we were inspired by the Milanese beauty, which can be defined by the Japanese concept of wabi-sabi, which is precise and imperfect, orderly but spontaneous.To restore this sense of image and story and restore a character.We hope we were able to guide the story in a compelling and complex way.

When thinking about the music for Avvocato Ligas, together with Roberto Vallicelli, I asked myself to keep the various souls of the series together and to recognize the "tone" well recognized by the direction of Fabio Palladini and the interpretations of the main characters.After various experiments and research since the filming period,We're in musical worlds that are usually far from each other: blues and folk music;By repurposing organic sounds into electronic sounds.sarcasmtensionThey try to bring together the personal events of Ligas and the arguments in court.The character of Ligas is particularly interesting to comment on the music;A constant balance between grumbling mind and extraordinary instincts, he cuts through distorted guitars and his "beef"-like bluesy vocals with unconventional wit and irony.It makes his character even more shocking and even shines a light on parts of him that aren't immediately visible, which I think is what music should do in this series.I hope we succeed.

De Bellis: "We wanted a deep series of Milanese and Ligas"

During the presentation of Ligas, the new series with Luca Argentera that airs from March 6 on Sky, Giuseppe De Bellis, Executive Vice President of Entertainment, Sports and News of Sky Italia, spoke.De Bellis explained that "we wanted to tackle this genre for a long time and we were waiting for the right project".
