Roberto Benigni and Massimo Troisi's 'Non ci resta che piangere' returns to Italian TV

The 1984 Italian cult comedy *Non ci resta che piangere*, written, directed and performed by Roberto Benigni and Massimo Troisi, will be rebroadcast on Sky Cinema Stories on Friday 31 July 2026 at 19:20. The film follows two modern‑day teachers who are inexplicably transported back to 1492, mixing slapstick humor with social commentary, and has remained a touchstone of Italian popular culture.

The scheduled airing gives Italian audiences a chance to revisit the classic, which originally earned critical acclaim and a lasting place in the national cinematic memory. The broadcast is being promoted as a nostalgic event for fans of the duo and for viewers interested in the film’s iconic lines and historic parody.
