It has been a trend on search engines and social networks for hours: Will Raoul Bova replace Terence Hill in Don Matteo? The question arises after an indiscretion launched by TvBlog which speaks of a passing of the baton between the two actors in the fourth episode of the next season arriving in autumn 2021. An unexpected new entry after twelve very successful seasons in Italy and abroad.
A tribute to Terence Hill
In reality it would be a "tribute" to Don Matteo with Raoul Bova who will have a role close to that of the protagonist. According to sources close to the production, he should not replace (at least immediately) Terence Hill, but support him for the episodes of the thirteenth season that should start this summer. Don Matteo 13 will be set again in the narrow streets of Spoleto or Gubbio and will also see the return of Flavio Insinna who will again take on the role of Captain Anceschi.
A final catwalk is therefore looming in honor of Terence Hill with the arrival of Raoul Bova who will wear the cassock, the return of Flavio Insinna and the presence of additional big stars who will be co-stars of the series. All awaiting the last episode, Don Matteo's farewell episode which should end after more than twenty years. However, there is the maximum reserve on the thirteenth season, in fact the same Nino Frassica, who once again supports the protagonist, did not want to comment on the arrival of Raoul Bova, the possible replacement and the news of the final season. The last episode ended with Don Matteo and his company of friends visiting the Vatican, at the Pope's. An aspect that further intrigues fans who want to find out what's new.
The precedent with Daniele Liotti
Many had imagined a handover between Raoul Bova and Terence Hill for Don Matteo. The combination with another Rai fiction is easy "Un passo dal cielo”With the alternation between the same actor and Daniele Liotti. In the first three seasons Terence Hill played Pietro Thiene, station commander of the San Candido Forestry Corps, in Trentino Alto Adige. From the fourth season the new commander has been Francesco Neri, played by Daniele Liotti.
