Set in the heady days of 1970's Italy, before the internet shrank the world, 'Italia 77' tells a compelling story of two Lancastrian friends, fresh from the UK, one a failed dental student, the other, an ageing rugby star, who find themselves landed in Rome with the bold intention of taking the Italian sporting scene by storm, but this is far from being a sporting memoir. Join us on a journey of enlightenment, adventure, enduring friendship and discovery on a five-year trail from Rome to Florence taking in a kaleidoscope of sights, sounds and tastes along the way.

    S1 Ep1: The Arrival
    Jan 26 2024
    Two Lancastrian soldiers of fortune land in 1970s Rome from the UK. They're met by a devastating kaleidoscope of cultural, fashion and culinary contrasts. Ian is a young failed dental student and Dick (also known as 'JRH') is an ageing rugby star. Their first tentative exploratory steps take them to the jet set world of Argentario by the sea. The worldly, cultured Peppe Pagni takes them under his wing. “We are barbarians” exclaims Dick. The adventure is only just beginning.

    S1 Ep2: Introduction to Rome
    Jan 26 2024
    Ian and Dick return to Rome to begin their mission. The ancient historical sites and unique atmosphere of the 'eternal city' swiftly makes them realise that it is a million miles away from Times Square or Piccadilly Circus.

    Coins are thrown in the Trevi fountain for good luck as Ian searches for love.

    A temporary membership of the lavish Aniene Club sees our boys now dealing with the rich and powerful of Roman society. “Pecorino Romano is the only allowable cheese for the Amatriciana sauce”
