REAL ITALIAN STRUGGLE

Guardare il "Giovane Montalbano" sulla Rai che lo sta ridando per la settordicesima volta e accorgerti di quanto cazzo fossero GAY Mimí e Salvo già nei loro primi 5 secondi su schermo.

Mimí stava flirtando SPUDORATAMENTE e nessuno può farmi cambiare idea.

La Squadra's favourite tv shows; because these poor bastards at least they can afford an old tv

TW: Curses in italian, bl*sph*my and dr*gs ( Ghiaccio) and Tina Cipollari

Risotto: " Maurizio Costanzo Show "

Being surrounded by a variety of idiots ( yes even Prosciutto has his dumb moments ) Risotto likes to relax his brain watching an evergreen tv talk show by Maurizio Costanzo.

This old man, who Italy likes to make fun of because he literally has no neck ( and illuso jockingly calls poor Pesci like him) is basically one of the fathers of italian television and the cultured nature of the program itself, really helps Risotto relax and enjoy some quiet time.

Prosciutto: " Il commissario Montalbano "

Even if normally Prosciutto would avoid cops, or like he calls them " sbirri maledetti " he really likes the vibe of this detective story.

He actually relates to the protagonist ( Salvo Montalbano ) on many levels: his reserved personality, his relationship with women ( both are womanizer ) and his absolute distaste for people who interrupts other people's lunchtime with phonecalls (the first time he saw it happen during an episode, he jumped from the couch screaming " SI C*ZZO SALVO, DIGLIELO A QUEL M*NCH*ONE BACIANNICCHIA!! ")

So whenever his favourite sicilian detective is on tv, he likes to watch it with a cold beer and eating some " spaghetti alle vongole"

Illuso: " Uomini e Donne "

When it comes to drama, Illuso is the first one to enjoy it! And seeing young shallow people trying to find " true love " on a trash tv program really makes his day.

So with a face mask, coffee and his favourite pj he sits on his bed and evilly laugh at the rejects of the suitors, the tears of the girls and the banshee screeches of Tina Cipollari ( one of the show's regular hosts )

But what really makes Illuso an addict to this unbearable mess is the queen that reigns coldly over this chaos: Maria De Filippi. The woman, being also Maurizio's Costanzo's wife, is one of italian tv's overlords and is responsible for the majority of these type of entartainment ( Illuso has her autograph, is securely hidden inside his office)

Melone: " Il Grande Fratello "

Cameras, secrets, public display of the human nature on it's lowest levels and tons of pretty girls showering/ telling everything about themselves for the audience to see...You can't tell me this isn't Melone's sh*t!

He especially likes the 24h live where you can truly see the competitors forgetting about the fact they are on tv and display sides of them not only to their journey's companions but also to the audience creepingly spying on them 24/7

Melone takes notes about the girls he finds interesting and plans on going to the " meet and greet" after the program (or when a competitor is eliminated from the game) to ask them out/see if they are good " Babyface material"...1/3 usually they are but the rest of the team prefers not to investigate on his random trips to Cinecittà

Formaggio: " Incantesimo "

He is the last person someone can imagine enjoying a soap opera, and yet this roman man follows the romance and adventures of the doctors, nurses and lawyers of the " Clinica Life " in Rome like it's some sort of cult.

Formaggio is a passionate man, so he really gets invested in the stories and star-crossed lovers that makes his lonely afternoons more interesting; the rest of the Squadra often found him half drunk crying and yelling at the tv stuff like " NO LEI NON TE MERITA, PORCODDUE!" or " AMO' TE STA' A FA' 'NFINOCCHIA' DA QUEJA STR*NZA!!" and then passing out on the carpet..They have the decency to record the episode, so they don't have to deal with his whining about how he lost the occasion to see Agnese's " Occhi de fata "

Note from Benny: i couldn't find any Incantesimo's gif aaaaaa

Pesci: " Carramba che sorpresa! "

Pesci is a soft boi, and the maternal aura radiating from Raffaella Carrà ( bless her soul, she truly was an icon ) is a perfect fit for him! He watches her show after rough missions, bullying sessions from his collegues ( illuso and formaggio ) or in general when he is feeling down.

Seeing the happiness, the emotions, the genuine feelings of the people Her Royal Majesty Raffaella helps reunite and be together after years of being apart ( his faves are long lost lovers ) really melts his heart. So he goes up to his room with a warm banket and hot cocoa, locks the door and let himself be a sentimental 22 year old guy without the peer pressure ruining his fun

Ghiaccio: " Sarabanda "

Ghiaccio loves 4 things : his beloved red Mazda, go to a club and do c*ke while a str*pper with a particularly nice butt gives him a lap dance, beat up some random b*stards and Sarabanda.

Finds the announcer, Enrico Papi, extremely annoying but the whole vibe of the show is what he needs to let his fury filled brain concentrate on something else.

Having a big selection of cd and listening to various artists during his rides he easily guess the songs but finds it challenging (in a good way ) when he discovers a new song or artist during an episode; but if a competitor is slow at answering or straight up ignorant on the whole deal ( and Lord have mercy if they say things with the wrong pronunciation ) he starts yelling like he always does and starts cursing the whole Heaven population.

One time Risotto found him punching the table while yelling " LA BAMBA D*OCAN!!! COME C*ZZO FAI A NON INDOVINARE LA BAMBA MAD*NA P*TAN!!! TO SOREA VACA, COI SOLDI CHE VINCEVI QUI SI FA LA PORCOD*O DI SPESA 2 M*RDA DI SETTIMANEH!!"

@dark-side-of-passion thank you for keeping me company while i wrote this, love you bestie <3

So aside from pinocchio, are there any other italian stories that you really love and would recommend?

ANON I'M SO SORRY life has been a whirlwind lately, I promise I did not forget nor dismiss this ask ❤️❤️❤️ thank you for the faith you put in me, I'm very happy to share more content from my country.

So, without further ado:

the entire Italo Calvino bibliography. Yes I know it's kinda cheating to simply name an author and run with it, but he was THAT good. He fuses cynicism and hopefulness with a masterful prose, and sometimes does magical realism so well you forget that you have not, in fact, witnessed such whimsical scenarios as he describes. An easy, accessible introduction to his work is Marcovaldo, a collection of short stories about an unlucky blue collar worker and his family, but I'm also partial to Invisible Cities, where he describes imaginary cities that all bear women's names through the eyes of Marco Polo

La Locandiera/The Mistress of the Inn by Carlo Goldoni - a funny, irreverent screenplay about a MILF innkeeper lady who dodges marriage proposals, upholds her business' name and still doesn't renege her personality. Woman-positive to the extent a work from the 1700s can be, will make you root for the absolutely chaotic protagonist within three pages

So It Is (If You Think So) by Luigi Pirandello. Another screenplay, this time about unreliable narrators and the complexity of lies (you might have guessed why I find it so enjoyable). A man and his mother in law fight about the identity of his wife and involve the entire neighborhood in it - wanna find out who's telling the truth? So did I in high school, which is high praise for something we were pushed into reading in the first place

the Inspector Montalbano series by Andrea Camilleri, though I've witnessed first-hand how the quality of its English translation swings wildly between acceptable and cringe, so I'd pick another version if possible - there is also a TV show that has been broadcasted internationally by BBC, if you want to dive into that. The complex, ever-tortuous daily life of a (made-up) town in Sicily, seen through the eyes of a short-tempered but fundamentally good police inspector. Salvo Montalbano is a gem, honestly, once you've met him you can never go back

There are probably more that are escaping my mind rn (and if people have strong opinions they can share them whenever they want), but these are the things I'd most love to talk about with someone. Hope anyone coming across this post will enjoy them!

Best Mystery Series with Unforgettable Detectives The allure of a good mystery series lies not just in the twists and turns of its plot but in the depth and complexity of its characters, especially the detectives. These sleuths, with their keen observation skills, sharp intellects, and often, complex personal lives, draw us into their worlds, making us yearn for more with each solved case. This article delves into some of the best mystery series that have given us unforgettable detectives, characters who have become almost legendary in the annals of crime fiction. The Golden Age Classics The Golden Age of detective fiction, a period broadly defined as the interwar years of the 20th century, gave us some of the most iconic detectives who continue to be celebrated and revisited through various media adaptations. Hercule Poirot - Created by Agatha Christie, the Belgian detective with his "little grey cells" has become synonymous with the classic whodunit. Poirot's meticulous nature and flair for understanding the human psyche have made him a beloved figure in mystery literature. Miss Marple - Another of Christie’s creations, Jane Marple, is an elderly spinster with an uncanny ability to solve crimes through her understanding of human nature, derived from her observations of village life. Philip Marlowe - Raymond Chandler’s Philip Marlowe, a private eye in Los Angeles, brought a hard-boiled edge to detective fiction, combining cynicism with a code of honor in his quest to uncover the truth. Modern Masters of Mystery Transitioning from the classics, the latter half of the 20th century and the early 21st century have introduced us to detectives who have redefined the genre, adding layers of psychological depth and complexity. Harry Bosch - Created by Michael Connelly, Hieronymus "Harry" Bosch is an LAPD detective committed to justice at any cost. Bosch's dark past and relentless pursuit of truth make him a compelling character in modern crime fiction. Inspector Rebus - Ian Rankin’s John Rebus, a detective in the Edinburgh police force, is known for his dogged determination, complex personality, and the gritty realism of his Scottish setting. Kay Scarpetta - Patricia Cornwell’s series featuring medical examiner Kay Scarpetta blends forensic science with thrilling narratives, making Scarpetta a pioneer in a genre that has since seen many imitators. International Intrigue The global appeal of mystery series has led to the rise of unforgettable detectives from around the world, each bringing their unique cultural perspectives to the genre. Inspector Montalbano - Andrea Camilleri’s Sicilian detective, Salvo Montalbano, combines a love for gourmet food with sharp detective skills, set against the backdrop of the picturesque Italian island. Kurt Wallander - Henning Mankell’s creation, a Swedish detective, is characterized by his deep introspection and the melancholic backdrop of rural Sweden. Wallander’s cases often explore social issues, adding depth to the mysteries. Erast Fandorin - Boris Akunin’s detective, set in late 19th-century Russia, combines historical detail with intricate plots, making Fandorin a standout character in international detective fiction. Breaking the Mold: Unique Detective Duos Some of the most engaging mystery series have deviated from the lone detective model, presenting dynamic duos that combine their diverse skills to solve crimes. Sherlock Holmes and Dr. John Watson - Though predating the Golden Age, Arthur Conan Doyle’s Holmes and Watson set the standard for detective partnerships, with Holmes's brilliant deductive skills complemented by Watson's medical knowledge and steadfast loyalty. Mulder and Scully - From the television series "The X-Files," FBI agents Fox Mulder and Dana Scully brought a supernatural element to detective work, with their contrasting beliefs and backgrounds enriching their investigations into the paranormal. Strike and Robin - Robert Galbraith (a pseudonym for J.K. Rowling)

introduced Cormoran Strike and Robin Ellacott, a private detective and his assistant (later partner), who solve intricate cases in contemporary London, showcasing a deepening personal and professional relationship. Conclusion: The Enduring Appeal of Mystery Detectives The best mystery series do more than just entertain; they immerse us in worlds filled with intrigue, challenge our perceptions, and introduce us to characters who feel as real as people we might know. The detectives highlighted in this article, from the methodical Hercule Poirot to the introspective Kurt Wallander, and the dynamic duo of Strike and Robin, have become unforgettable not just for their ability to solve complex cases but for their profound humanity. They remind us of the power of observation, the importance of justice, and the enduring appeal of uncovering the truth. As long as there are mysteries to be solved, these detectives, and others like them, will continue to captivate and inspire us. In exploring these series, readers not only find thrilling mysteries but also encounter characters that reflect the complexities of human nature. Whether through the lens of a hard-boiled detective in the gritty streets of Los Angeles or a medical examiner uncovering secrets in the autopsy room, these stories offer a window into the depths of the human psyche. The detectives' journeys through the labyrinth of crime and their own personal struggles highlight the universal quest for truth and redemption. As we follow these detectives on their quests, we are reminded of the resilience of the human spirit and the power of a keen mind. In the end, the best mystery series leave us not only satisfied with the resolution of the case but also more deeply connected to the rich tapestry of human experience.
