From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Il Milanese Imbruttito (Italian for The Disgruntled Milanese) it's an Italian satirical blog and YouTube channel parodizing the stereotypical traits, habits and catchphrases of the work-centered lifestyle of people living and working in Milan.[1][2] It has been launched in 2013, and by 2017 it had grown a following of about 1.5 million viewers and readers, becoming an internet phenomenon in Italy.[2][3][1] The three founders and authors are Marco De Crescenzio, Federico Marisio and Tommaso Pozza.[1]

The YouTube channel hosts different types of content. The interviste imbruttite segment is a series of interviews to passersby.[4] A few years after the launch of the channel, scripted fictional episodes were also introduced, with actor Germano Lanzoni playing the role of a stereotipical Milan small-businessman.[1]

In 2016 Italian traditional publisher Rizzoli published Milanesità, istruzioni per l’uso ("Milaneseness, instruction manual"), the second book on the subject by the Milanese Imbruttito authors.[3] In 2018 it also debuted in theaters with a comedy play co-authored by Lanzoni and director Walter Leonardi.[5]
