After four seasons and a great involvement, Ivan Silvestrini has announced that he will leave the direction of Mare Fuori for the fifth season that is preparing and will be on set in June.
The fourth season is currently airing on Rai 2 and Rai Play with the boxset and two extra episodes. The series will now be directed by Ludovico Di Martino, known for directing the third season of Skam Italia and the film La belva with Fabrizio Gifuni, as anticipated by Roberto Sessa of Picomedia to Corriere del Mezzogiorno. In addition, a new team of five screenwriters has been announced, led by Maurizio Careddu, who has joined the project since the beginning.
"This is a letter for you who have followed Mare Fuori, loving it, hating it, but almost always devouring it. In these wonderful years, spent largely in Naples, I have had – wrote Silvestrini on Instagram – the privilege of directing a cast and crew that have been like family to me, and really, when you feel so good, a part of you would like what you are experiencing to never end. I have treated, to the best of my ability, this series as something precious, as a long film, as a work of art… I have treated every season I have worked on as if it were the last, this year in particular, because if it is true that certain stories are still suspended, I believe that the mystery surrounding certain events tells the mystery of life well. Mare Fuori is life in this too, and if you really can't see the happy ending you were hoping for, see it from another point of view, with the eyes of someone who says the last word in the last scene”.
But now the time has come to turn the page: "I don't know what's going to happen next season, when I made my decision they were still writing it, and I'll wait with the same curiosity as you. I've treated every season like it was the last, but this time it really is the last, it is for me."
