About Studio Battaglia
Studio Battaglia is an Italian legal and family drama set in Milan, where three sisters work alongside their mother at a prestigious family-law firm that bears the family name. The series is the Italian adaptation of the BBC drama The Split, transplanting its premise of lawyers who specialize in divorce into an Italian professional and domestic world. As the Battaglia women handle high-profile separation cases for wealthy and well-known clients, the boundaries between their work and their private lives steadily blur.
At the center of the firm are the relationships among the sisters and their mother, whose own choices ripple through the next generation. The eldest, Anna, has built a career and a marriage that are both tested when an old flame and a rival firm reenter her life. Across the two seasons the show balances the procedural rhythm of contested divorces, custody disputes, and prenuptial battles with the slower emotional accounting of the family's secrets.
Shot largely in Milan, the series leans on the contrast between sleek professional settings and the messier truths that surface in the firm's consultation rooms. Critics and audiences received it as a polished, character-driven adaptation that uses the law as a lens on love, loyalty, and reconciliation. A second season continued the family's story, and the show is treated as part of Rai's slate of contemporary returning dramas.
