The Belly of an Architect
1987 · Film · 118 min
Directed by Peter Greenaway
Stourley Kracklite, a driven, detail-obsessed architect, travels from America to Rome with his much younger wife, Louisa, to oversee an architectural homage to a personal hero, 18th-century master builder Etienne-Louis Boullée. En route by train, Stourley and Louisa conceive a much-wanted child — but Stourley's obsession with his wife's expanding belly, her perceived infidelity, and his own recurrent bouts of abdominal pain reach epic and dangerous proportions.

Hollywood pffft.
I get my Italian stereotypes from Fellini's Satyricon, Bozzetto's Allegro Non Troppo and Greenaway's Belly of an Architect.
( likely a few other books and films to boot )
( ok, Greenaway isn't Italian, shrug )
