The boys of 3rd C
Rome, late 1980s, Leopardi Classical High School. This is where the various protagonists of the series meet and experience the epic, hilarious exploits of their classmates in 3C, the most outgoing high school students of the entire school year. Bruno Sacchi, a shy, rather plump boy, often awkward but with a big heart. Chicco Lazzaretti, the classic, tireless repeater, obsessed with school and his classmates, always ready to answer teachers in funny ways to distract his classmates. Of course, Daniele and Rossella, typical sweethearts who have grown up together since childhood, are also present, along with the beautiful, blonde Sharon Zampetti, desired by everyone.

Seasons
"The Boys of the third C" is a snapshot of the world of young people at school, observed in its most typical manifestations: class rivalry, antagonism between students, moments of social gathering (school elections, holidays, the class newspaper), the play, the party). In particular, the "group photo" of 3a C focuses on defining the characters of the individual protagonists, highlighting the vices, tics, flaws, virtues, and ways of speaking and behaving of today's youth. Chicco, for example, is the class leader, the inspiration for his classmates and the brains behind initiatives and pranks, a repeater who has turned being a student into a true profession. Massimo, on the other hand, excels in anything that involves muscles and physical activity: gymnastics is his favorite subject, and there is no sport he doesn't specialize in.
