Matrimonio al Sud

On the surface, Matrimonio al Sud follows a clash of expectations that pits a tight lipped Milanese tycoon against a Naples grounded family whose warmth is expressed in food and laughter. When his adult son announces plans to marry the daughter of a local pizza maker, the devastating contrast between their worlds becomes a source of comic tension. The father anticipates a private affair and a business friendly match, but the Naples side insists on a celebration full of color, food and unmistakable regional pride. The news sparks a cascade of misunderstandings, miscommunications and suggestive humor as the two clans negotiate customs, flavors and family loyalties. The film keeps the tone light while poking at stereotypes. The humor lands through quick gags and warmth.

Directed by Paolo Costella and built from the collaboration of Gianluca Bomprezzi and Massimo Boldi, Matrimonio al Sud arrived in 2015 as a light Italian comedy tailored to Boldi's screen persona and to fans of regional banter and easygoing humor.
