Nero Wolfe is a 2012 Italian TV series, adapted from the novels by Rex Stout about the famous private detective Nero Wolfe. The plot is set in 1959 in Rome where Wolfe and his assistant Archie Goodwin move from New York after a conflict with FBI (said conflict is described in the novel The Doorbell Rang though the following self-exile to Italy is a non-canon). Eight novels were adapted in feature-length episodes: Fer-de-Lance, Champagne for One, The Golden Spiders, The Rubber Band, Gambit, If Death Ever Slept, The Red Box, and Over My Dead Body.

The series is a second Italian screen adaptation of Nero Wolfe stories after the 10-part 1969–71 series.

The following weapons were used in the television series Nero Wolfe:

Revolvers

Iver Johnson Safety Automatic Hammerless

A nickel-plated top-break hammerless revolver is seen in a flashback scene in "La traccia del serpente" (E01) when Nero Wolfe recreates the murder that happened in the house that he rents. Same revolver is then seen during the opening credits in every episode. The gun is seen not very clear but the shape of the frame allows to guess that it is very possibly an Iver Johnson Safety Automatic.

A Beretta M1951 is a service gun of the security guard Antonio Sgroi (Corrado Solari) in "Il patto dei sei" (E04). In "Parassiti" (E06) Otto Bertola (Alessandro Haber) owns a Beretta M1951 that he calls a Beretta M1935, his war memory. Bertola's gun is then used to kill Luigi Zanna, and during the investigation police expert claims that the murder weapon is in 7.65mm Browning caliber and may be a Beretta M1935. In the final scene the murder gun really switches to a Beretta M1934/1935.
