And now, decades later, television channels are once again betting on Italian creativity
First it was the German TV movies with the corny happy endings of the weekends after dinner. Then the Turkish series arrived that don’t seem Turkish because they use total mimicry with those of the West. And now the Italian series. Actually, they were always there, but our TVs turned their backs on them. However, there was a time when Italian cinema was extremely popular in Spain. Those were the times of Sophia Loren and Marcello Mastroianni movies, the comedies of Totó or Sordi and the melodramas of Vittorio Gassman. And now, decades later, television channels are once again betting on Italian creativity. ‘El commissaire Montalbano’ was the advance in La 2. An intriguing series with a touch of manners, a success, such that now the channel repeats all seasons in succession, until the end of the series, which remains unpublished.
In addition, ‘Don Matteo’ has triumphed in Thirteen’s after-meals, with Terence Hill, reconverted from the ‘Trinidad’ films, along with the late Bud Spencer, who solved everything by hand, the priest of Gubbio, in Umbria who, in addition to his work as a priest, assists the police in solving complicated cases. The first six episodes of the first season of ‘Blanca’ have also aired on Telecinco. All successful series, made by RAI. For the upcoming new season, the landings of ‘The Wife’ have already been announced, on Antena 3, and ‘Everything can happen’, an adaptation of an American series that has brought RAI to its field, costumbrismo, on TVE 1. And Since a Italian costumbrista series is always better than decaffeinated Turkish productions, you will agree with me that ¡Viva l’Italia!
