Costume Design as Critical Device in Netflix's 'La legge di Lidia Poët' Final Season

On April 15, 2026, Netflix unveiled the third and final season of its historical drama 'La legge di Lidia Poët.' Set against the backdrop of 1880s Turin, the series chronicles the journey of Lidia Poët, Italy's pioneering female lawyer, portrayed by Matilda De Angelis, who navigates the legal world informally after being denied admission due to her gender. Costume designer Stefano Ciammitti introduces visual tension through anachronistic features, incorporating insect motifs that represent defiance. His creations merge nature-inspired hybrid shapes with elements of 19th-century aesthetics. The show explores historical context while intertwining police investigations and social critique, with its intricately designed costumes serving as vital narrative tools, earning it international acclaim for its focus on photography and scenography.
