Indonesia The Nanny

Broadcast on Indosiar beginning 25 September 2006

Italy In Italy, the American series was heavily redubbed and renamed La tata ("The Nanny" in Italian). It was broadcast on Italia 1 and in the Italian dub Fran Fine was renamed Francesca Cacace, Italian nanny from Frosinone, a town of Lazio, a region of Central Italy. Sylvia Fine was renamed "Zia Assunta" ("Aunt Assunta"), a relative of Francesca's family offering a shelter to her niece. Yetta Rosenberg was renamed "Zia Yetta" ("Aunt Yetta"), Polish, the few bits of her backstory provided altered to hide her Jewish origins. Val Toriello was renamed "Lalla Toriello". Francesca Cacace was no longer of Jewish heritage, but hailing from a Roman Catholic family, having become a lapsed Catholic ("The Kibbutz" is, in fact, a pretty unclear episode in the Italian version). Almost every reference to Jewish religion was altered accordingly in the show. In the Italian adaptation, Francesca's parents live in Italy and the only relatives emigrated in America with her are her two aunts, Yetta and Assunta, and her uncle, Assunta's husband Antonio, whose face is never seen (we can hear him having few shouted lines or see his wig from above). Italian dubbing also modifies some characteristics of the neighborhood where Max lives.
