Something about the recent spell of good weather has gotten me thinking about Italy. I haven’t visited since before the pandemic, and there are only so many Italian crime films and Elena Ferrante dramatisations one can watch before pining for the real thing.
If you haven’t watched the first three seasons of My Brilliant Friend on Now TV (Sky Atlantic) then you are missing out. Set in Naples and based on the novels of Elena Ferrante they are simply gorgeous to watch — the acting, the cinematography and even the costumes will make you pine for a thin base Margherita Pizza with a glass of decent red wine.
