That's the only video in English I found. However he can also do serious stuffs if he wants, for example I did a program in which he commented the Divina Commedia
It is not like my dad is into the army or something like that, it's just that when he was young military service was still compulsory here and so he had to do one year of army-like training. So that he was assigned to the group of the "alpini", he was given that hat.
