The Village Voice:

The most profound change in Italian cinema is its regionalism. " In the '70s and '80s, you had films that were mostly produced in Rome, often where Rome was a central element," says Monda. "Now we have films from Naples, Sicily, Turin." The characters often speak Neapolitan, Sicilian, or other dialects. Regional differences matter in Italy. They're far deeper than those between, say, New York and Mississippi.
