Father Matteo
An unique priest and an extraordinary detective.
Created by Enrico Oldoini
A long-running Italian procedural that pairs murder mysteries with priestly compassion, sustained across 285 episodes by a fundamentally optimistic faith in redemption and human goodness.
Don Matteo is a thoroughly ordinary Catholic priest with an extraordinary ability to read people and solve crimes. He’s a parish priest who never met an unjustly accused person he didn’t want to help.
