Stryx(1978)

Stryx is an Italian television series that aired on Rai Due in 1978, exploring themes of Hell, devils, and the underworld through a darkly theatrical lens. The production design evokes medieval gloom, with sprawling castles and cavernous sets that establish an otherworldly atmosphere. The series blends dramatic performances with live musical acts, featuring an eclectic roster of artists including Amanda Lear, Grace Jones, Patty Pravo, Asha Puthli, Mia Martini, Angelo Branduardi, and The Rockets. Stryx stands as a distinctive artifact of late-seventies Italian television, combining avant-garde sensibilities with cabaret-style entertainment and a fascination with the macabre.
