"This is a great film which captures the poverty of Italian life in the south (the region of Basilicata I believe) after WWII. The director of the film is Gabriele Salvatores one of Italy's best contemporary directors (in my opinion of course)."

"This film is great and really gives a snapshot of contemporary Italian life. It's a SUPER long film (6 six hours) but I suggest watching it over 2 nights with a good bowl of popcorn...you'd be surprised at how quickly the time passes."

"Any tumultuous relationship is better in the language of love (italian). Besides, Stefano Accorsi, the male lead, is quite a hunk."

"Laura Pausini has been doing quite well recently, especially with her Cds in spanish, but I prefer to hear her songs in the language in which she wrote them. This particular CD is her covers of a bunch of older Italian songs. She does quite a good job."

"This story is part of a short trilogy called Our Ancestors. The other 3 stories...In Italian, the titles are: Il braone rampante, Il visconte dimezzato, e Il cavaliere inesistente."

"These two stories are part of a short trilogy called Our Ancesstors (I nostri antenati). The other story is called the Baron in the Trees. In Italian the titles are: Il barone rampante, Il visconte dimezzato, e Il cavaliere inesistente."

"This cookbook is one of the best cookbooks for making traditional Italian dishes. It is said that many Italians actually own the cookbook. This is the English translation of the original which was all in Italian. The increments have also been changed from the metric system to the american system."

"This is best Italian-English dictionary that I have come across (esp. for a compact version). My favorite portion of the dictionary is the false friends or amici falsi, words which are very similar in both languages that have completely different meanings. It also contains colloquialisms at the different entries."
