About Percoco: Il Primo Mostro D’Italia
Italian film directed by Pierluigi Ferrandini. On the night of May 26, 1956, a terrible bloody event occurred within the home. In Bari at the dawn of the economic boom, the twenty-six-year-old Franco Percoco, coming from a "normal" lower middle class family, carried out a family massacre - the first after the war to have great media coverage - and was consigned to the news as the "Monster of Bari ".
Directed by Pierluigi Ferrandini, Percoco: Il Primo Mostro D’Italia leans on a strong ensemble — Gianluca Vicari, Giuseppe Scoditti, Rebecca Metcalf Cortese — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about thriller titles of 2023.
