Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Movies and TV Series Related to the History of Italy
Some delete !votes focus on criteria for inclusion/broadness/maintainability. I agree that is an issue, but it applies to lots of lists, probably including everything in :Category:Lists of historical period drama films and List of historical novels#Italy.  I think we should really be looking at , which basically says that lists are notable if they pass GNG. Italian historical film is certainly notable, and frequently lists of historical films are presented in popular journalism and in scholarship. For one example, Sorlin, Pierre. ''Historical films as tools for historians'' (Film & History: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Film and Television Studies 18, no. 1 (1988): 2-15) discusses a number of films, not exactly as a list, but almost so, and focuses on Italian examples. Italian historical films are frequently studied as a collection, and work in this area would also lend itself well to a list. For instance, a list of crime films and television shows set in historic Italy could be based in part on Pezzotti, Barbara. ''Investigating Italy's Past through Historical Crime Fiction, Films, and TV Series: Murder in the Age of Chaos'' (Springer, 2016), to take a recent book-length example
