«Christmas holidays», 40 years ago the first cinepanettone. Who earned 3 billion lire and launched pop icons like the Dogui All cinepanettoni – Images

For forty years, at Christmas, people have often returned to Cortina to laugh at the holidays of two families: the Covellis from Rome, among whose sons Roberto (Christian De Sica) stands out, and the Milanese Braghettis. Of course, penniless playboys like Billo (Jerry Calà) who hope to win back old flames and many other characters are involved, but Vacanze di Natale (1983), with its choral humor, has made school and breached the imagination. Made by the Vanzina brothers, already famous at the time for Eccezzziunale…veramente (1982), the film has become a comedic cult and a cultural phenomenon for several generations, a reflection of certain triumphant and very Italian 1980s.
