Gianni Morandi comes back to TV after seventeen years as Pietro, the pediatrician who will be the protagonist of the new fiction that will air the 24th of September on Canale 5 primetime.
L’isola di Pietro is a thriller series in co-production with RTI – Lux Vide, produced by Matilde and Luca Bernabei: «We have sewn the character of Pietro into Morandi and we have given him some of Gianni’s characteristics, from his love for dogs to that for running».
The plot revolves around Pietro, who «lives in Carloforte, a small village in Sardinia, where he is the port of call of the community. A widower, he has a daughter who moved to Milan to protect a painful secret and who comes back to the island thanks to an unexpected event. Pietro is the pillar around which the stories of the female leads revolve: the daughter (top model Chiara Baschetti), prosecuting attorney Annalisa (Cosima Coppola) and fifteen years-old Caterina (Alma Noce)». In a cameo, we will also see Gianni Morandi’s wife, Anna Dan.
The Italian songwriter, established by now as the new generations’ idol also thanks to his very active social life, is ready for a great tv comeback.
