«Nudes»: the first Italian series on Revenge Porn

Television has filled up with bullying and spite, illicit behavior, and their deleterious repercussions on individual living. Talk shows, dedicated programs, even some foreign TV series. Never, however, in the years employed for the demolition of that taboo that has been bullying, has it been thought to tell the horror with an Italian series. Nudes, adaptation of a Norwegian format of the same name, was a recent idea, created to mix “sentimental education and thriller”.

The series, ten episodes directed by Laura Lucchetti, will debut on RaiPlay on Tuesday 20 April, bringing with it one of the most nuances of bullying.

Nudes, like the Nordic namesake, is dedicated to the phenomenon of Revenge Porn, investigated through the actions of three different teenagers. “Bologna and its province are the background to the series, because we didn’t want Revenge Porn to be considered an evil of the metropolis. Revenge Porn is about young people, wherever they are, ”explained Riccardo Russo, who, with Bim Production and Rai Fiction, created the project. Nudes, in Italy, is the story of Sofia (Fotinì Peluso), Vittorio (Nicolas Maupas) and Ada (Anna Agio), three teenagers whose existence was overwhelmed by the breaking of the wall that should separate public and private. Nude pictures have gone online, sex scenes, pawns paid to certify one’s faith in a greater love.

There is no judgment, however, to accompany the ten episodes of the RaiPlay series, only the desire to explain how often adolescence, lightness, being inextricably linked to the moment, unable to evaluate the consequences of every gesture and action, can turn into a nightmare. «Revenge Porn among teenagers is a very present problem, very silent. Closer than we think. We try to bring it to light, far be it from me wanting to give a message, “explained Lucchetti, while the guys in the cast wished to be able to help their peers to report any behavior that is less than correct.
