The Cesaronis — Season 1, Episode 4: Try Again Cesare / It's Not Jealousy

Episode synopsis

Marco and Giulio have a tough fight over the young man's decision to become a musician. Meanwhile, Lucia receives a beautiful necklace as a gift from an anonymous admirer. The woman thinks that the gift was given to Giulio and when she discovers that the necklace actually came from her admirer Andrea, she flies into a rage. Don Gervasio, the president of the Romulana, the neighborhood soccer team, dies suddenly, so Cesare and Andrea run for the succession. The innkeeper, thanks to Ezio's help, becomes the new president but, for the good of the team, gives up his place to the wealthier rival. The latter, after another attempt to seduce Lucia, receives Giulio's violent congratulations.

About The Cesaronis

Giulio is a widower, struggling to raise three sons, Marco, Rudi, and Mimmo, as best he can. He lives in Rome's working-class Garbatella neighborhood and runs a wine shop with his two brothers. Lucia, meanwhile, comes from Milan's middle-class background; she's divorced and trying to rebuild her life with her two daughters, Eva and Alice. The two meet by chance and recognize each other: they had a fling as teenagers, many years earlier. Yet first love is never forgotten, and so Giulio and Lucia find themselves together again. Their meeting, however, changes not only the lives of a man and a woman, but also those of two families as different as could be. Two families who find themselves living under the same roof without even having had the time to get to know each other well.
