A spasso nel tempo
- 13 December 1996 (1996-12-13)
A spasso nel tempo (lit. 'Getting around in time') is a 1996 Italian science fiction adventure comedy film directed by Carlo Vanzina.[1][2][3]
The film is included in the Italian sub-genre of cinepanettoni. According to Adam O'Leary, A spasso nel tempo and its sequel are «farcical elaborations of the Back to the Future films which riff on schoolbook history and on film and television culture».[4]
Plot
Two Italian families meet in Universal Pictures' amusement park. Ascanio Colonna (Ascanio Orsini Varaldo in the original version) is a Roman prince, who immediately goes into battle with the Milanese Walter Colombo (Walter Boso in the original version), manager of a cinema. When the two families have to take the joust of Professor Mortimer's "Machine of Time", the machine jams right when Ascanio and Walter get on board. The two are sent in the Prehistoric era, and Professor Mortimer tries in every way to bring them back in the present era, making the two enemies a journey in all the eras of Time.
