Moreover, Toni will be able to express his love to Mela, a girl whom he knows together with his friends on the island of Nicola and who returns to the hospital following an intervention in the appendix. The characters who, despite being members of the Braccialetti Rossi, play a less important role this season are Rocco and Beatrice: the latter, in fact, after the recovery from the coma (of the second season) is no longer seen either outside or inside the 'Hospital; Rocco, however, will make some appearances in some episodes, without doing anything particularly important. Among the many news of this season, there is also the intention, by the Braccialetti Rossi, to build a radio station inside the hospital, complete with a Web site, with the aim of sharing the experiences of their life with all those who listen to them, especially all the patients and doctors of the hospital, who will be able to see in the bitterness of the disease some flash of hope capable of making life beautiful, despite the various difficulties and sufferings it entails. "Braccialetti rossi" is the Italian version of the Catalan series Polseres vermelles, inspired by the true story of the Spanish writer Albert Espinosa who, after suffering a cancer for ten years, managed to heal, then recounting his experience in a book. The series had three seasons, for a total of 19 episodes. The first season, consisting of 6 episodes, aired from 26 January to 2 March 2014 while the second, consisting of 5 episodes, from 15 February to 15 March 2015. On 18 March 2016 instead, the shooting of the third season ended, composed of 8 new episodes, which were broadcast starting 16 October 2016, with the confirmation of the entire cast and several new entries. In addition, the series was renewed for a fourth season and shooting began in May 2017. The series was almost entirely shot in Fasano, Puglia, within the CIASU (International Center for Higher University Studies) structure, in which the hospital of the series was completely rebuilt. Other scenes were filmed in Monopoli and inside the swimming stadium of Bari in the outdoor swimming pool of the structure, where the limbo is set between life and death in which the different characters of the series are located (in particular Rocco in the first series and Bea in the second series, both in a coma, Davide in the first series and Nina in the third series). The locations used in the second season remain unchanged, they are added only (in the flashbacks and in the scenes shot during the interventions) the amusement park Zoo safari Fasanolandia and the outside of the school of Vale, in Fasano.
