freewheelin' Nando!

This is one of the most famous and loved pictures of the late Alberto Sordi. He plays the role of Nando Meniconi, a young man crazy about U.S.A., in line with the post-war attraction for the country that wins the comflict and "free" Italy. Wearing in denim with a basketball hat, crazy about Joe DiMaggio, Nando is a living danger for all is around him; parents, girlfriend, occasional partners. The plot is confused and low budget; some of the situations are only a veichle for the non-stop improvisative vein of the master actor but this movie is very memorable because is Sordi state-of-art. This is a portrait in which a lot of italians would be recognized. And, if you know italian language, you can laugh all the time. Is a counterpoint for the neorealism school; where you have realism and social critic here you have innocent but funny and realistic parody of costumes and mentality of the italian boys of the '50; chewing gum, toy guns and...hopes for a far, young, winner land...Noew is different but I think that America craze exist the same today!!! w Nando and his spaghetti!!!

In 2008, the film was selected to enter the list of the 100 Italian films to be saved (100 film italiani da salvare). The list was created with the aim to report "100 films that have changed the collective memory of the country between 1942 and 1978". The project was established by the Venice Days ("Giornate degli Autori") in the Venice Film Festival, in collaboration with Cinecittà Holding and with the support of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage.

Citazioni
Nando Moriconi: [uncovering a plate of spaghetti] What is now? Uh... Maccheroni! Maccheroni, this is stuff for carters! I don't eat Maccheroni, I am American, I am! Red wine. I don't drink red wine. You know that I am American. Americans don't eat Maccheroni. Americans eat marmalade, marmalade. This is stuff for Americans. Yogurt, mustard. That's why the Americans win the Apache. They fight Indians. Americans don't drink red wine, they drink milk. That's why they don't get drunk. Have you ever seen a drunk American? I have never seen a drunk American. Americans are strong! You cannot fight against Americans. Americans eat marmalade. Maccheroni, ah... I destroy you! What you're looking at me for? With that fearless face. You look like a worm to me, Maccheroni. This is stuff for Americans, you see? Yogurt, marmalade, mustard. A little bit of milk. This is stuff that Americans eat, you see? Healthy stuff, satisfying.

Nando Moriconi: Damn, what a filth! Americans, oh! Maccheroni, you provoked me and I destroy you now! I'm gonna eat you!
[he starts eating the spaghetti]
Nando Moriconi: [putting the American food on the floor] This we'll give to the cat. This is for the mouse. This will kill the bedbugs. And I drink milk.

Nando Moriconi: I'm American! Worm, I'm gonna eat you!
