Italy: Let the Good Times Roll
LTGTR: Series 2
Naples, 1943. For over two decades, the beautiful cultural icon that is Napoli, Italia has chafed under the rule of Il Duce, and has been tainted in recent years by his mustachioed puppet master in Berlin.
Not anymore. Thanks to the efforts of Italian freedom fighters and brave allied soldiers, the battle cry of freedom will forever reign over the ancient city.
The thanks you've gotten have been overwhelming. You and your friends have been paraded on the shoulders of Communist partisans and made spaghetti by overjoyed Italian grandmas.
But none have been more thankful than the Segnories.
The women who formerly worked in a case chiuse are happy to have upgraded from living in ruin and forced to suck Fascist to survive to living in ruin and forced to suck British and American to survive. They find it much more mentally bareable.
One such establishment, known as La Dolcezza to the locals, is the last bastion of the empire of a fallen mafia don. And it's the last resort for employment for women who fund their husbands or brothers sent north to protect the Kingdom, or into the countryside to avoid or resist the Fascist menace.
One day, your grandson will sit on your knee and ask what you did in thr great World War Two, the greatest war that has ever struck the Earth, and after what happens today, you might leave out a few tidbits.
