Lots of new adventures await Italy’s most beloved extended family who is once again called to face the unexpected surprises and various unexpected twists..
The Cesaroni brothers will deal with every day problems with the irony and wisdom that was always typical of them.They will also have the opportunity for pranks, challenges at a bowling game or bets at the Casino which will bring them close to losing everything.
Also Stefania and Lucia, who usually get along well at work and in their private life, will get involved in myriad of adventures, such as competing for who has the best husband and they will be willing to do everything to win, even including Ezio and Giulio, who will be able to turn the tables on them.
The long-standing rivalry with the neighbours Barilon is still going on. The Venetian neighbours opened a sanitary shop just across from Giulio‘s wine shop. While Lucia and Stefania have to deal with Germana who succeeds in tricking the Cesaroni into paying an exorbitant amount for a cheap bonsai, Giulio, Cesare and Ezio, despite the mutual distrust and the obvious differences, will find in Barilon a trusted ally for all sort of adventures.
Love between Lucia and Giulio remains the foundation of the Cesaroni family, even when it will be severely tested long enough to cast a shadow over their future.
