The same streets. The same sea. The same colourful buildings. Yet Blanca and Petra make Genoa feel like two completely different cities.

Blanca is not written as a lesson in bravery or pity. She is clever, stylish, difficult, funny, independent, and fully alive. Through colour, confidence, work, friendship, and the way she moves through Genoa, *Blanca* gives us a detective who does not live in darkness, but keeps arriving in colour.

Genoa is not polished for tourists — and that is exactly why it works so beautifully in Blanca. From old harbour streets to pesto, focaccia and Sebastiano’s restaurant, the city becomes one of the series’ most memorable characters.

Blanca turns Genoa into more than a backdrop. From the sea and medieval alleyways to Camogli and the Ligurian coast, Italy’s most beautiful crime drama makes the city feel alive, intimate and unforgettable.
