Le conducteur de tramway Cesare Mancini, Romain transféré à Bologne depuis vingt ans, est un très bon homme avec un vilain défaut: il ne sait pas toujours rentrer sa colère. Au travail, il doit subir sans cesse les reproches de son contrôleur Rossi ; dans ses moments de loisir, il aime jouer à la pétanque avec ses collègues (lui et son ami Bernasconi, le receveur, sont imbattables, avec le résultat d’énerver encore plus Rossi qui est beaucoup moins doué); en famille, il doit faire face à une épouse affectueuse mais mauvaise cuisinière, à une fille impatiente de se marier, à un fils espiègle et à une belle-mère acariâtre qui ne perd pas l’occasion de souligner ses erreurs. Les membres de la famille de Cesare ont même l’habitude de s’exprimer en patois bolonais, sans qu’il arrive à comprendre un mot malgré les vingt ans passés dans la ville émilienne.
