“Doc returns, without memory, inspired by a true story” – Corriere.it

The third season of DOC. In your hands, the successful TV series, will be broadcast on Rai1 on eight evenings from January 11th, with the first two also in cinemas on December 18th and 19th. Protagonist Luca Argentero in the now famous role of doctor Andrea Fanti, head of internal medicine at the Policlinico Ambrosiano in Milan: a character inspired by the true story of the doctor Pierdante Piccioni, who lost his memory due to a head injury.

Fanti has forgotten the last twelve years of his life, which were evaporated when the father of a young patient was shot in the head. Now Doc has to face new challenges, both privately and professionally. When we started working on the third season – Argentero begins – I was curious to understand how it was possible to find a strong connection to continue the story. I think we did it. My Fanti, who is being reinstated as chief physician, is trying to manage the department in the best possible way and, above all, to maintain a high level of attention towards patients. But the past suddenly returns and lost memories resurface.

Produced by Lux Vide (Fremantle Group) in collaboration with Rai Fiction, the medical drama directed by Jan Maria Michelini, Nicola Abbatangelo and Matteo Oleotto and screenplay by Francesco Arlanch and Viola Rspoli was sold to over 50 countries around the world. Among the other protagonists Matilde Gioli, doctor Giulia Giordano; Sara Lazzaro, the beloved ex-wife of protagonist Agnese Tiberi; Pierpaolo Spollon, the young resident. The new additions: Laura Cravedi plays the brilliant doctor Martina Carelli; Giacomo Giorgio, the young intern Federico Lentini; Elisa Wong, the Lin Wang resident of Chinese descent.

Gioli underlines: We find Giulia in a newfound serenity after experiencing the tragedy of falling in love with a man, Doc, who no longer remembers their relationship. A feeling of complete frustration. Lazzaro intervenes: the memory of her ex-husband returns and there is a problem: she tries to hold on to the repressed past in order to protect Andrea from unspeakable secrets.

While in the first season Doc discovered that the present was different than he believed, and in the second, with the fight against Covid, his goal was to protect his future and that of his loved ones, in the third, Fanti joins in in a new situation, a different past than the one that had been described to him. “I celebrate my twenty-year career,” Argentero continues, “I am proud of this character, inspired by the true story of an extraordinary man, Piccioni, who managed to transform a big problem into a positive fact.” Doc creates empathy in the audience and I love the idea of ​​families gathering around the television to watch the story unfold. I never thought about enrolling in medical school, but over the past few years I have learned a little about the subject: now I know how to read blood tests competently. Will there be a fourth season? It could take until Document 12, but it depends on what we can implement.
