  • How can we explain the phenomenon of the veline? What does Ricky think of it?
  • What do Berlusconi, Lele Mora, and Fabrizio have in common, in what ways do they differ from each other? What is the connection between them and Ricky?
  • What significance do the ideas of "a modern Robin Hood" (Corona); that "life can be marvelous like television" (Fabio); and that "it's enough to appear" (Lele Mora) have within the world depicted?
  • To what extent do these realities resonate within the US context? What concrete parallels can you draw and what would you say appears specifically Italian? Think of socio-cultural climate, individual characters and the physical ambiances.
  • What do you learn from the captions that conclude the film?
