Rome – What is the connection between the television series “Doc-In your hands” with Luca Argentero leading actor in the role of a doctor and the Pro Recco of water polo? Apparently no one. Yet the authors of the drama broadcast once a week on Rai Uno, which continues to enjoy a large following and has already reached its third season, decided to include the Biancoceleste club in the last episode which aired on Thursday evening. In the episode “Dreams”, in fact, Laura appeared, a young girl, a promising young water polo player, who was admitted to hospital due to a leg problem. And it is precisely during the first meeting with her doctors that Laura reveals: «I play water polo. I went to Genoa to audition for Pro Recco.”
The response of one of the doctors, Riccardo Bonvegna, played by Pierpaolo Spollon (already also seen in the Blanca series, about Levante Ligure), was immediate: «Congratulations, it's one of the strongest teams in Italy». Recco will then be talked about again during the episode, in relation to the girl's condition and her hopes of returning to play. Also because at a certain point the news arrives that makes the young water polo player explode with happiness: “They got me.”
In reality, if we want to nitpick, the Pro Recco quote is accompanied by some inaccuracies. The team has no longer played in Genoa for years now, but in its own pool at Punta Sant'Anna. Furthermore, there is no female training even at youth level even if president Maurizio Felugo has never completely ruled out this possibility. Pro Recco's only squad dates back to 2011, the year in which both the Scudetto, in the final against Imperia, and the Champions League won in Kirishi, Russia, ended up on the board. The two inaccuracies, however, paradoxically, do nothing but confirm the popularity of a sporting reality that has always meant water polo in Italy and around the world. The Pro Recco brand, therefore (now managed by the staff headed by marketing manager Fulvia Tornich), it is confirmed as very famous. The company didn't know about this quote. Obviously it was a welcome surprise.
“Doc – In your hands” (Matilde Gioli's face is also popular among the actresses) in the last episode achieved a 25% share, far winning the challenge with the other television programs of that evening with 4.7 million thousand spectators. The episode can be seen on the Rai Play app.
