The leading actor with Aurora Ruffino of the fiction Noi aired on Rai1 from 6 March in six evenings, based on the successful American series This is us

The story of a family through the decades. Noi is the title of the series broadcast on Rai1 from 6 March in six evenings. Based on the original American cult series This is us, created by Dan Fogelman, and now produced by Cattleya in collaboration with Rai Fiction, it tells the family, domestic and sentimental events of the couple Pietro and Rebecca Peir, from the Eighties to the present day. Protagonists Lino Guanciale and Aurora Ruffino, directed by Luca Ribuoli. The story begins with Rebecca’s difficult birth in the hospital: she has triplets in her womb, but unfortunately one of the three children can’t make it but Pietro, who promised himself and his wife that they will leave that hospital with three children. , makes an important decision that will change the course of their lives: adopt a black baby, abandoned by someone outside a fire station.

Between past and present, in various time frames, we follow the path of the parents and the growth of the children: Claudio (Dario Aita) will become a dissatisfied actor, Caterina (Claudia Marsicano) will have serious food and balance problems, being obese, while the adopted Daniele (Livo Kone), the only one of the three to become a successful man, he will go on a frantic search for his natural father. We tried to give the public a story that was inclusive, in which all Italians can reflect – says Guanciale – The aspect that struck me most about Pietro is his ability to give himself completely to that project called family, and it’s nice to see someone ready to do anything for such a thing. The family – he adds – something that, for better or for worse, you never get rid of. My father very close to Pietro. He put me in a position to always follow my dreams.

Aurora Ruffino confesses that when the project was proposed to me, being a fan of “This is us”, I did not believe it and happiness immediately turned into panic. I thought: will you be able to play such an important role that comes from an equally important series? It all worked out when I stopped thinking about the American series. A couple of months before the start of filming – continues the actress – I had a kind of refusal of motherhood. I remember hugging Ribuoli and telling him that I never wanted to have children. But at the end of the shoot, the desire to become a mother made its way into me. Hence, love prevailed over pain. Her family has the ability to remain united despite everything, not to get lost and to accept everything that happens. The adaptation signed by the screenwriter Sandro Petraglia. Writing an adaptation – the director points out – is more difficult than writing an original screenplay. As we wandered, we realized that we could always trust the text. The most difficult step was choosing the cast and with them we tackled this crazy climb, we tuned in to the original project and immersed ourselves in it. The intent was to make it an Italian story without pretending to do something different or better.
