The
title DIABOLICAMENTE...LETTIZIA is an Italian word-play, making
it difficult to translate. The two words taken individually would translate
to Diabolically + Happy. In essence, yes, that would
also describe the narrative of the film. However, 'Lettizia' also
happens to be the lead character's name thus adding a different twist
to the title.

it. Rather than delving deeper into therapy, they decide to adopt their
niece Letizia from a fancy Swiss boarding school. Once the teen moves
