Pineta, which lies on the Tuscan coast between Pisa and Livorno, is the imaginary town in which Marco Malvaldi’s characters go about their business. It is around BarLume, at the centre of the town’s life, that the protagonists’ stories unfold: the café doesn’t actually exist, but it is reconstructed every year on the coast of Marciana Marina, a picturesque location on the northern coast of Elba Island.
The town is actually a tourist resort with gravelled streets and multi-coloured houses, the colours of which are reflected in the turquoise sea. In the shadow of the sixteenth-century Torre della Marina/Torre degli Appiani towering over the port, Massimo spends his free time fishing. The appearance of the place has been shaped by the many people who have settled there over the ages: Etruscans, Romans, Pisans, Ligurians and French, to name but a few.
To the right of the seafront of Marciana Marina is a genuine gem: a granite rock formation and a conglomerate of houses and ladders hide a small natural cove: Borgo al Cotone.
Various episodes from the series also see the protagonists taking short trips to Portoferraio and Marina di Campo.
