| 4 | ''Caro Diario'' (Dear Diary) is an Italian film directed by Nanni Moretti and released in 1993. Divided in three parts, it is a SliceOfLife story following Moretti himself through a few months of his life, as he spends a carefree summer in UsefulNotes/{{Rome}}, visits a friend in the Aeolian Islands, and goes through a series of medical treatments for a condition that baffles mainstream and alternative doctors alike. |
