Two Greedy Italians... Still Hungry

Two Greedy Italians... Still Hungry

Rome and Machismo

Italian men used to be 'macho', able to stand up for their honour, woo women and do the tough things that men do. In Rome, where fathers sent their sons to become men, Gennaro and Antonio look at the modern Italian man and ask if there is still a place in Italy for 'macho' men. They start in the rugged mountain villages of Lazio, where men still tend their flocks and provide for their family. But in Rome, they find a different story; the women there are increasingly taking control.
