Imagine if you will a high-speed car chase involving a Porsche 356 speedster by a vintage Ferrari along windy mountain roads leading to a roof-top fist fight overlooking one of the most beautiful lakes in the world while plenty of cool looking Italian dudes smoking cigarettes like it’s their job, sitting below at cafes oblivious. This is the heist of Lake Como, brought to you by the fitting Piero Umiliani, Italian film score virtuoso of the 60s. Enjoy the airy arpeggios, the lush angelic voices, and the ubiquitous mandolin solos. Arrivederci baby.
