Sabrina Ferilli Launches Canale 5 Drama 'A Testa Alta' on Revenge Porn

Ferilli frames the three-part drama as a civic stand against online image abuse, urging digital education in schools.

Overview

  • The series premieres tonight on Canale 5 as a three-episode drama directed by Giacomo Martelli.
  • Ferilli stars as Virginia Terzi, a respected high-school principal in a lakeside town near Rome whose life is upended after an intimate video is shared without consent.
  • The production was filmed in Anguillara and centers on the legal, social and familial fallout of online shaming without revealing narrative twists.
  • Ferilli says she consulted Italy’s Polizia Postale and a young survivor, dedicating the project to Tiziana Cantone and encouraging victims to report offenses.
  • Coverage situates the show within a broader TV focus on school leadership, alongside Raiuno’s upcoming La preside starring Luisa Ranieri and inspired by principal Eugenia Carfora.
