The great Gigi Proietti, one of the best Italian actors ever.
Unfortunately he just passed away last November, on the day of his 80th birthday.

Funny!

For my Italian language friends...the translation's wrong though. The cow guy says it's 5:35... subtitles say 10 past 10. Maybe that's Italian slow time :-)

It's amazing how life in Italy can be so simple and relaxing . . . and lots of opportunities to smile and laugh. Thanks for the attitude lift this morning!

"The great Gigi Proietti" - I looked him up. I don't recall him but must have seen him in 'Who Is Killing The Great Chefs Of Europe', which I barely remember. With that wondeful overactor, Robert Morley.

I'll give Pinocchio a shot, if I can get hold of it somehow.

RE: Gigi Proietti. If you subscribe to the MHz channel through Prime, you can see him in a series called "Bulletproof Heart" ("Una pallottola nel cuore."), one of the last things he starred in before his death. In the first two seasons it's a great joy watching him work with Licia Maglietta--a couple of accomplished actors playing well off of each other. Also, be sure to keep watching as the credits role--at the end of each episode he tells a story, of which he seems to have an endless supply.

I just want to say, we started watching "Bullerproof Heart" and are really enjoying it. The storyline, the scenery ,the acting . . . It's all good.

Those who who enjoyed "Bread and Tulips' will enjoy seeing actress Licia Maglietta again, somewhat older but still lovely and lively.

Thank you Eric for mentioning this.
