''Ciao Bella'' (Italian for "Hello and/or Goodbye beautiful") is a Canadian television sitcom that debuted on CBC Television in the 2004-05 television season. It is set in Montreal, Quebec. Elena Battista (played by Claudia Ferri) is a young, single Italian-Canadian woman whose desire for a modern lifestyle conflicts with the traditional values of her family. In the season premiere, she is hit by a bus on the way to the florist to exchange a corsage on her sister's wedding day. In the ensuing coma, she promises God that if she is allowed to live, she will take advantage of her life and live it on her own terms instead of letting her family run it for her. Steve Galluccio, who created the series, explored similar themes in the theatrical play ''Mambo Italiano''. Ferri appeared in the film adaptation of that play as a different character. Each episode is filmed twice, in both English and French. There is no dubbing. A computer game of the same name has recently been released in relation to the series. Track 5 on Hôtel Costes, Vol. 3 includes the show's theme music. == Cast == * Claudia Ferri as Elena Batista * Ellen David as Sophia Batista * Tony Calabretta as Edwardo Batista * Jessica Heafey as Carmie Batista * Peter Miller as Elio Lanza * Carl Alacchi as Uncle Nunzio * Dorothée Berryman as Theresa Lanza * Louis Philippe Dandenault as Ernie * Johnny Falcone as Maurizio 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ciao Bella (TV series)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
