Curiosidades
In 2008, the film was selected to enter the list of the 100 Italian films to be saved (100 film italiani da salvare). The list was created with the aim to report "100 films that have changed the collective memory of the country between 1942 and 1978". The project was established by the Venice Days ("Giornate degli Autori") in the Venice Film Festival, in collaboration with Cinecittà Holding and with the support of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage.

Citas
Nando Moriconi: [uncovering a plate of spaghetti] What is now? Uh... Maccheroni! Maccheroni, this is stuff for carters! I don't eat Maccheroni, I am American, I am! Red wine. I don't drink red wine. You know that I am American. Americans don't eat Maccheroni. Americans eat marmalade, marmalade. This is stuff for Americans. Yogurt, mustard. That's why the Americans win the Apache. They fight Indians. Americans don't drink red wine, they drink milk. That's why they don't get drunk. Have you ever seen a drunk American? I have never seen a drunk American. Americans are strong! You cannot fight against Americans. Americans eat marmalade. Maccheroni, ah... I destroy you! What you're looking at me for? With that fearless face. You look like a worm to me, Maccheroni. This is stuff for Americans, you see? Yogurt, marmalade, mustard. A little bit of milk. This is stuff that Americans eat, you see? Healthy stuff, satisfying.

Nando Moriconi: Damn, what a filth! Americans, oh! Maccheroni, you provoked me and I destroy you now! I'm gonna eat you!
[he starts eating the spaghetti]
Nando Moriconi: [putting the American food on the floor] This we'll give to the cat. This is for the mouse. This will kill the bedbugs. And I drink milk.
[he drinks some wine]
Nando Moriconi: I'm American! Worm, I'm gonna eat you!

Spaghetti is called worm which is funny, funny stuff, great charming sequences and the title at first is like pedestrian but then you realize oh yeah it is a clever title, the guy Alberto is a great cosmic entity of awesomeness, epic ness, a just excellent picaro character portrayal of this sequences of heightened reality, improbable but not impossible events of craving for America while conjuring up ideas in Roma, the is a craving I already read about in other biographies of italian directors around this era so this is a well known craving and shown here awesome as they use the best thing while in some place craving for something else, imagination.
