On January 13, 1987, the first episode of “I Ragazzi della III C” was broadcast on Italia 1, a show set in the imaginary Leopardi High School in Rome which features a group of classmates. The series, conceived by the brothers Enrico and Carlo Vanzina and shot by Claudio Risi, met with an incredible and unexpected success. Although the actors appear a bit older to play high schoolers (the youngest is 20) and the series has a relatively short life compared to today’s canons (only lasting three seasons, for a total of 33 episodes), the The show soon became a cult and over the last three decades it has been reprogrammed by Mediaset several times.
