A brilliant and skillful narrator, he began his career as a stage director in the late 1940s, and later worked as a productor for RAI, the national Italian broadcasting company.
His debut as a writer dates back to 1978, yet his first novel, Il corso delle cose (The Way Things Go), did not find a great success. The first of the fortunate series of novels starring the “Commissario Montalbano,” La forma dell'acqua (The Shape of Water), was published in 1994. The character of the Commissario, and with it Camilleri's own name, quickly gained recognition all over Italy and abroad.
A success that was further boosted by the popularity of the TV series based on the investigations of the Commissario, who is played on the screen by actor Luca Zingaretti.
