Elena Sophia Senise, the little actress and young promise from Cosenza in Italian cinema and fiction has just concluded a truly exceptional 2025 thanks to the success of “Pesci Piccoli 2”, which for a long time was the most watched television series on Prime Video and one of the ten most watched series in Italy. Subsequently, the very young artist was acclaimed by millions of viewers following the success of “Costanza”, a Raiuno drama based on the famous novel “Questione di Costanza” by Alessia Gazzola, where she played little Flora as the protagonist. And finally, in December, with the film “Seduci & Escape”, from the “Purché finisa bene” series, where she played little Diana alongside Nino Frassica and Francesco Arca.
But for Elena Sophia, 2026 will not be any different because on Thursday she debuted as the protagonist in episode number eight of “Don Matteo 15” with a truly interesting, at times even touching, story. In the episode she played the role of Margherita, a sweet and determined little girl who, due to a complex family situation, her father having escaped from prison and her grandfather hospitalized, finds herself alone looking after all the animals on her grandfather’s small farm. But supporting the little girl is invariably Marshal Cecchini (Nino Frassica), with Don Massimo (Raoul Bova), Captain Diego Martini (Eugenio Mastrandrea) and an exceptional guest star (Carolina Benvenga), the latter of whom will lead Margherita to realize her little big dream; sing a very original and fun song at the Teatro Nuovo in Spoleto. Between hilarious gags and touching moments, therefore, a truly beautiful story to tell. From March 9, however, the little talent will also be present in a new Rai television series, also presented at the Rome Film Festival and, soon, he will be the protagonist of another highly anticipated television series.
Not only fiction for the very young actress from Cosenza, but also cinema, in fact Senise is already on the set of the film “My Imaginary Enemy”, where she will be one of the protagonists alongside Fabio Volo, Giulia Bevilacqua, Loretta Goggi and Luigi Diberti. Many years have now passed since “Lea I Nostri Figli”, which marked the television debut of the little actress. In between other TV series and television programs. Until arriving at today’s splendid career. We have often heard about Elena Sophia Senise also for the fact that she has always demonstrated great maturity on the set, or that the little nine-year-old actress is one of the most promising talents of the new generation of Italian actors. She herself has stated several times that all this was only possible thanks to a lot of study, great preparation and, obviously, love for cinema. But we are just at the beginning of 2026, and the skill of a unique and surprising actress is already highlighted once again, with a career already full of awards and successes, which began at the age of five, and which continues to surprise and mature more and more today.
