The fifteenth season of the beloved fiction will start on Raiuno from 8 January 2026 Don Matteo. And as always, he will be there to impersonate the now famous Don Massimo who has taken over from Terence Hill for three years now. Raoul Bova. A fact that is not obvious, as he confessed to TV Smiles the fifty-three-year-old actor commenting on the “splitting eyes” case by which he was overwhelmed after Fabrizio Corona, in the format most false has released the messages he sent to twenty-three-year-old Martina Ceretti. «After Fabrizio Corona’s video I wanted to leave Don Matteo 15I was willing to let Don Massimo die», said Bova. Adding: «I called the producers to understand what was best to do, and if it was better to leave the scene. I was asked if I had done anything illegal. I hadn’t, so we continued to work calmly and no one on set ever made a negative comment towards me. We are like a family, and my colleagues have never had a moment of prejudice or giving in towards me when I was in difficulty.” When the scandal broke out, «there were those who went so far as to say: “Bova fired from Don Matteo… Rai wants to get him out.” A conviction, it almost seemed like something organized to bring down a giant and me I was ready to resign from the role… But luckily that didn’t happenneither Rai nor the producers of the series fired me.”
It is not the first time that the actor has commented in public on the story that has overwhelmed him and which also has judicial implications (as is known, an investigation has been opened into the case for attempted extortion). For example, last December 11th, speaking at the Atreju party during a panel on cyberbullying, he vented all his anger and pain by declaring: «For the audio on the “breaking eyes” I suffered a public killing. They treated me like a plague victim, I felt alone. I didn’t give in to blackmail and was mocked and ridiculedeverything went viral. “Breaking eyes” was the most popular word: before the war, before the people killed. It’s a sick society.”
Bova – who separated from his partner after the scandal Rocío Muñoz Morales and now he is engaged to Beatrice Arnera – in his most difficult summer he had even thought about it, as he just revealed to TV Smilesto leave Don Matteo 15. Instead there will be, and speaking of the new season of fiction he anticipated that the fundamental theme will be «the spiritual vocation: who we are, what our place in the world is, among conflicts, personal crises, doubts. As is known my Don Massimo is a former policeman that he had chosen the uniform for his desire for justice and that he became a priest with the same ethical values, but if sometimes when he was in the Army he made mistakes, he continues to be a priest who makes mistakes and questions himself about his true religious faith. So he is first of all a man, with his existential problems, his private pains, his feelings of guilt».
