One title is set in more than one town here and appears under each pill it belongs to, so the pills above total 37 against Everywhere's 36.
The figure is an average per day across the five years to July 2026. Lookups — not viewings, not ticket sales, not streams.
Set here, not shot here. A title is on this page because its record says the story takes place in this region. Where the camera stood is a fact about a production, not about the work, and counting it moves 80 titles onto pages they have nothing to do with.
Prime-time Rai family fiction written in clean standard Italian throughout; a few characters carry a central or Roman accent and the odd colloquial regionalism, but nothing that changes the grammar or blocks a line.
Normal Italian conversational speed, deliberately clear for a broad prime-time audience, with overlap mainly in the comic group scenes rather than as a style.
Set in Ascoli Piceno in 1938 but played in standard Italian with only light central-Italian accent and occasional local colour; no shift out of standard Italian.
Deliberate, unhurried delivery with pauses; the two leads talk quietly past each other rather than overlapping.
Set on the wintry Adriatic coast around Rimini, but the cast — teachers, bourgeois wives, a gambling set — speaks standard Italian throughout, with only light Romagnolo-tinged colouring from the provincial minor characters and a post-synchronised track that flattens accent further.
Delivery is deliberately slow and weighted, with pauses between lines and almost no cross-talk; the dubbed track gives each speaker clear separation.
The description names somewhere else, and we have not established which is right.
The bulk is early-19th-century literary standard Italian, but the Naples section brings genuine Neapolitan in the street and household scenes around Ranieri, which a learner with standard Italian will lose.
Delivery is deliberate and declamatory, with characters finishing their thoughts and little cross-talk outside the Neapolitan street scenes.
Also set elsewhere — the description covers the whole title.
An educated middle-class family in Ancona speaking standard Italian throughout; at most a light central-northern colouring, with no local lexicon or grammar.
Normal conversational pace with a deliberately quiet, measured delivery in the therapy scenes; some overlap at family meals but little sustained cross-talk.
Darker means more titles set there.
