Films and series set in Valle d'Aosta. And what the Italian sounds like.

Everyone speaks standard Italian; Bruno and the Grana villagers carry an Alpine north-western accent with a little local mountain colour, but no shift out of standard Italian.

Unhurried delivery throughout — the two leads speak slowly and singly, with almost no cross-talk or interruption.

Essentially standard Italian throughout, with light Roman and northern-office accent colour on secondary characters rather than any dialect spoken as a language.

Villaggio delivers long comic tirades at speed, and the office and social-gathering scenes are built on interruption and cross-talk.

Nuti's protagonist speaks heavily Tuscan-inflected Italian — Prato lexicon and intonation with the aspirated consonants — while the northern mountain characters speak standard, so grammar stays standard but the regional colouring is constant.

Normal conversational pace, but Nuti's trademark low, half-swallowed delivery makes his own lines harder to catch than their speed alone suggests.

The variety described is not this region’s.
