Raoul Bova Returns to Don Matteo for Season 15 After Summer Scandal

Bova frames his on-screen return as part of a recovery from leaked private messages.

Overview

  • Season 15 premieres on Raiuno with Bova back as Don Massimo in a ten-episode run starting tonight.
  • Bova says he was treated like a criminal during the uproar and that he reported what he describes as an extortion attempt.
  • He states that neither RAI nor the series’ producers considered firing him, though he was prepared to resign.
  • The controversy followed audio messages disclosed by Fabrizio Corona involving model Martina Ceretti, which Bova says contributed to his breakup with Rocio Munoz Morales.
  • Returning cast include Nino Frassica, Nathalie Guetta and Francesco Scali, with Irene Giancontieri as the new marshal and guest turns from Diletta Leotta and Carolina Benvenga, while Bova’s new partner Beatrice Arnera has faced online abuse.
