Leonardo goes to secondary school, and enjoys inventing pranks, such as throwing a dog at the postman and adding laxative to the teachers’ coffee. He doesn’t like studying, and he is always playing videogames. But one day Leonardo becomes himself the target of a prank, and in trying to fix the damage he meets the almost centenary nun Bernardina, a distant relative. The old lady will prove extremely funny and, against all odds, the two will became close friends. Bernardina will eventually help Leonardo to solve his problems once and for all.

Author Biography
Andrea Maggi (1974) teaches literary subjects in secondary schools. He published three books with Garzanti: two historical novels (Morte all’Acropoli, 2014 and Il sigillo di Polidoro, 2015) both translated in Spain, and a thriller set in a country school (Niente tranne il nome, 2017).
As a teacher, he became popular as one of the main characters in the docu-reality Il Collegio (The Boarding school), a prominent Rai2 TV show based on the British format of That'll Teach 'em of Channel 4 (13-17 years old students are taken back to a 1950s/1960s style British boarding school).
The first two seasons aired in 2017, the third and fourth in 2019. Il Collegio had a growing success with the public, starting from an initial audience rating of 6% and achieving an astonishing 10% in the fourth season: in November 2019 it reached more than 2 millions people and often defeated more established and successful tv programs.
That’s why Rai 2 has announced a fifth, extended season (8 episodes), which will debut on 27th October 2020.
Il Collegio has also become a big hit among middle grade kids: an average 52% of tv watching kids between 11 and 13 years old watch every single episode of Il Collegio.
