‘The Bear’s’ Italian Family Get a Few Pointers on Putting Joy in Their Lives


'The Bear's' explosive Berzatto family needs to embrace their Italianess to find their fun-loving nature... and true happiness.

Hearing them croon about amore and life being beautiful (“Bells will ring ting-a-ling-a-ling and you’ll sing, ‘vita bella’”) or even Irish songstress Rosemary Clooney promising, “You getta happy in the feets-a when you mambo Italiano” can’t help but put a smile on your face.
