Title: Another good Italian TV series (with Alfa spotting)
Post by: poohbah on October 11, 2017, 08:01:44 PM
Just watched this Italian crime series on Netflix called Suburra. Not as good as Romanzo Criminale, but still pretty entertaining and set in contemporary Rome with plenty of Alfas as extras - especially the Roma Rozzers in their 159s and hoons in 147s...

Grazie poobah ,

Wow i grew up in Ostia , my favourite place in the whole mondo , hopefully move back there soon , Use to go swimming at a beach complex named Kursaal , lots of movies filmed there with the likes of anna Magnani in a fiat convertible n Alberto sordi il re di roma .
Best Maritozzi con la panna e cornetti in ostia n cheap .

Australia is killing me , so expensive n food is schifo.

If u like alfas in movies check out

Palermo milano ie alfa 75s

I bastardi di pizzofalcone  ie Giulietta

Just got back from ostia   Pizza  3 to 5 euros  , caffe less than 1 euro n not the bitter merda they serve here.

VIVA L'Italia e tutti quelli dentro   Australia non e il paese fortunato , e il paese dei balocchi $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

Thanks for the movie tips Lombardi. And sounds like ostia is a top spot.

For those who are interested, there is another ripper Italian TV series available via SBS On Demand - The Mafia Only Kills In Summer.

Set in Palermo 1979 - story of growing up in '70s Sicily as seen through the eyes of a 10yo boy.

Brilliant stuff - and plenty of great car spotting (eg dodgy Uncle Massimo in his Alfetta, and the sleazebag lothario schoolteacher with the obligatory Spider...)

And best of all, Aunt Patrizia ... che bella donna!
