We want to think of the legacy that Terence leaves us in terms of dedication, fidelity and above all of love for Don Matteo and for all the viewers who have followed us in these 20 years. Today we must live up to the myth that does not leave us but as a father watches us from afar and watches us grow.

We owe it to the millions of Italians who watch the series and to Terence. To him we want to say once again … Thank you Terence Hill ».
