Tano Cariddi - (Remo Girone) Scenes from "La Piovra 10" - amazing acting performance.
La fine di Tano Cariddi, l'eterno fascino del male. Nero come lo si dipinge? Il "cattivo" della Piovra, l'uomo infantile dall'intelligenza lucida, sottile, acuta, che chiuso nel suo castello, tra i dischetti del computer conserva i segreti dell'Italia del malaffare, comprende di aver toccato il fondo, e, in maniera drammatica, si toglie la vita gettandosi tra le fauci del vulcano Etna.
