R.I.S - Delitti Imperfetti (English: R.I.S - Imperfect Crimes) is an Italian television series, created in 2004 by Pietro Valsecchi, broadcast since January 2005 on Canale 5. The title, where RIS is an acronym for Reparto Investigazioni Scientifiche (an actual, real-life unit of the Carabinieri, the Italian gendarmerie), could be approximately translated into English as Unit of Scientific Investigations: Imperfect Crimes. As the title indicates, the series is a crime drama, focusing on the scientific aspects of crime investigations, in a similar vein to the popular American TV series CSI: Crime Scene Investigation (though RIS is not a remake thereof).

Plot summary

The Series follows the team of forensics who are trying to solve the case with help of evidence. Head of the R.I.S in first five seasons was Ricardo Venturi and in last three seasons Lucia Brancato. Location of the series is in Parma (seasons 1-5) and Rome (seasons 6-8). The change of location was made because Ghirelli (who has been in Parma in 4th and 5th season) and Flavia (who had been in Parma in 5th season) moved in Rome at the beginning of the 6th season.
