Wow was this Booooooooooring! Cellini was slow, his wife emotionally distraught, the other characters (on an artistic retreat in an old castle) really erudite, and the innocent working in the kitchen. Unlike other detectives in Italy & France, you never get the sense that Cellini has much of a personality, he seems to be stuck & just drifting along.

Long narratives, very little action and almost as little dialog.

Will skip the series. ( )
