Naples – Ahead of the Rai1 debut of the event series La Preside (airing January 12), FM Records is releasing the original soundtrack for the drama series directed by Luca Miniero and starring Luisa Ranieri. Composed by award-winning composer Michele Braga (who has also composed music for films by Matteo Garrone, Gabriele Mainetti, Carlo Verdone, and other leading figures in Italian cinema), the soundtrack will be available digitally starting Friday, January 9, just a few days before the premiere.
At the center of the musical attention is the unreleased "Non mi basti mai," a pop song with a strong emotional and intergenerational impact, entrusted to the voices of two young Neapolitan actors: Alessandro De Martino and Aurora Venosa.
In the series, the two play twin siblings Tano and Jessica D'Amore, students determined to pursue their dream of becoming singers despite the difficult environment of their run-down school.
This is an important double debut for Aurora Venosa: after passing the X Factor Bootcamp in 2024 and thus launching her music career, with this fiction she also arrives on the small screen for the first time as an actress.
Director Luca Miniero comments on the piece as follows: "The song 'Non mi basti mai' unites the generations and sounds of a city with an eye on pop but also on more popular music. To tell the story of a city that has rhythm as much in its blood as in its mind."
The series, produced by Bibi Film TV and Zocotoco in collaboration with Rai Fiction and with the participation of Netflix, is based on an idea by Luca Zingaretti and is loosely based on the real-life Eugenia Carfora, the principal of Caivano who became a national symbol of courage, determination, and civic commitment to fighting school dropouts and organized crime.
Michele Braga's music accompanies and amplifies the narrative of a daily struggle between ideals, institutions, and social reality, confirming the soundtrack's central role as a true narrative element, capable of strengthening the film's emotional impact on the viewer.
With this project, FM Records renews its commitment to promoting music for the audiovisual sector, focusing on works of strong social and cultural relevance in which the music is not just an accompaniment, but an authentic instrument of storytelling and emotion.

The new series, "La Preside," looks very interesting and offers a great opportunity to reflect on the struggles of youth. I'm curious to hear Michele Braga's soundtrack; I hope it lives up to expectations.
