Noi e La Giulia:
Directed by Edoardo Leo, starring Luca Argentero, Edoardo Leo, Claudio Amendola, Anna Foglietta, Stefano Fresi, and Carlo Buccirosso, (2015 release, 115 minutes).

A tragic comedy loosely based on the book Alfa Romeo 1300 and Other Miracles by Fabio Bartolomei that tells the tale of three 40-year-olds fleeing their own failure and united in the project of creating a rustic B&B in the hinterland east of Naples.

The Giulia 1300 Alfa Romeo of the title is the car of a mobster who comes to ask for protection money on the trio’s increasingly successful business, accompanied by a young and eccentric pregnant girl.

For their performances, Carlo Buccirosso and Claudio Amendola respectively won the David di Donatello for Best Supporting Actor and the Nastro d’Argento in the same category. The film also won the Nastro d’Argento for best comedy film.
