The new Netflix Italy’s thriller drama Inganno
(tr: Deceit) has started filming in the Amalfi Coast. The series, which
will not be available on the streaming platform until 2024, is being produced
by Cattleya - part of ITV Studios, with Pappi Corsicato directing, and starring
Monica Guerritore and Giacomo Gianniotti.
Written by Teresa Ciabatti, Eleonora
Cimpanelli, Flaminia Gressi, and Michela Straniero, Inganno is a
sentimental thriller series that plays between suspense, taboo-breaking and the
uncomfortable truths about love. This is the story of a passionate relationship,
with its shadows and secrets, that challenges social conventions and family
balances, subverting the role of motherhood in Mediterranean culture.
Gabriella (played by Monica Guerritore) is the
owner of a prestigious hotel in the Amalfi Coast. She is a classy woman, proud of
her sixty years of age and very much aware of her power. Her three children are
now adults, and life does not seem to have much more
to offer – until she meets Elia (portrayed by Giacomo Gianniotti): a
charming, lively, free-spirited young man the same age as her older son, who
exerts an irresistible, but also ambiguous and frightening charm on her. Despite
the age gap, Gabriella rediscovers herself as a woman and a lover… and she is
ready to sacrifice everything for Elia, even the relationship with her children
and their inheritance.
Inganno is based on the British series Gold
Digger, created and written by Marnie Dickens and produced by Mainstreet
Pictures, and the format is distributed by ITV Studios.
