Naples, 1977. The story of how it all began - how a very young Pietro Savastano will enter a criminal world set against the backdrop of a city in transformation: poor, rough-edged, hooked on cigarette smuggling and about to enter a new era of heroin use.

All this and more can be seen in the first official teaser for GOMORRAH - THE ORIGINS, the highly anticipated six-part prequel to the global hit Sky Original series, Gomorrah.

The new series - an origin story tracing the criminal education of the future boss and offering a fresh perspective on the roots of Pietro's power - captures an era that shaped the face of modern crime.
