Weekend, Italian Style (Template:Langx) is a 1965 comedy film co-written and directed by Dino Risi.

Plot

During the Ferragosto national holiday, Enrico Marletti, a middle-aged Roman engineer who hates crowds and would prefer some peace and quiet, joins his wife Giuliana for the weekend in the overcrowded seaside resort of Riccione, where she has been vacationing for three weeks. Upon arrival, Enrico meets a group of wealthy, loud and gossipy people that Giuliana has befriended during her vacation.

Noticing that Giuliana has been distressed, Enrico begins to suspect that his wife is having an affair. When a handsome young man outside their hotel calls out Giuliana's name, Enrico follows the man, who introduces himself as Sergio and explains that he is part of a group of gigolos who provide companionship to female tourists, including married women. Enrico finds that Sergio is seeing a different, younger woman named Giuliana.

Enrico also notices Giuliana growing close to the penniless Count Antonio Bellanca, an auctioneer who encourages her to read books by poets such as Pablo Neruda and Dylan Thomas. After a stroll with Enrico along the seafront, Giuliana ends her liaison with Bellanca and cancels an order for an 18th-century piece of furniture. That night, Enrico engages Bellanca in a poker game and wins 240,000 lire by bluffing, thus recouping his vacation money.

The next morning, Enrico kisses Giuliana goodbye as he prepares to drive back to Rome. Before Enrico departs, Sergio assures him that Giuliana will be off-limits to his fellow gigolos. Back in Rome, Enrico catches up on his sleep, having had trouble sleeping in Riccione.
