I knew about this Italian TV series ages ago. In fact Gordon Mitchell sent me a letter about it, raving about how good it is. I found it boring and slow but His parts were pretty good. I have posted a short clip of Gordon Mitchell's parts on my Y/T channel in case you want to see it. The main story is about a young couple who run away because their families don't approve of their marriage only to find the outside world is mean and nasty. Plague, theft, violence, hunger are now a reality from their lavish lifestyles at home with their rich families. This only played on Italian TV so it is very rare.
