Best TV commercial Italy stars Garibaldi. Framed by Antonia Scott.

Yet again the TIM mobile phone advertising crew has come up trumps.

You may remember at the end of last year they ran a serious known as the History of Italy according to TIM where we saw a fusion of Italian history with the present mobile phone world topped with a splash of humour. If you missed them here are a few translated commericials for your enjoyment:

• Italian History according to TIM mobile starring Christopher Columbus
• Italian History according to TIM mobile starring Leonardo da Vinci

So the same group of actors are now coming together to recall the colourful historical character, Giuseppe Garibaldi, a General who was instrumental in the unification of Italy 151 years ago.

Here is the first in the series for you to enjoy with the loose translation below. La Storia di Italia seconda TIM starring Giuseppe Garibaldi.

Translation:

While Giuseppe Garibaldi studies plans on how to unify regions into one unified country, which will be known as Italy, his mother enters on the mobile:

Mother: "Giuseppe has been here all day playing with puzzles."

Giuseppe "It's not a puzzle mamma."

Giuseppe "Finish the call mamma, it will cost a fortune."

Mother: "Don't worry. I can speak to everyone anywhere in Italy for just €2 a week."

Giuseppe: "But Italy doesn't exist yet."

Mother: "Well what are you waiting for? Do it for mamma!"

Giuseppe: "This is what I am trying to do!"

Mother (turning back to the phone): "Excuse me, at the moment Giuseppe is at that difficult age. He's answering back."
