WOW, You know Alberto Sordi, our national comedy icon, Turnbull? Have you ever watched "An American in Rome", where he is an after-war young Roman absolutely obsessed with everything American? Watch it, you'll laugh yourself sick! He was a great actor, mostly famous for his comical roles in which he represents our national vices, but with a great talent for drama as well, only partly showed.
