Where does the “It’s Hot, Antò” meme come from?
In 2001, actress Luisa Ranieri filmed the first episode of a Swiss advertising campaign for Nestea iced tea, alongside actor Edoardo Sylos Labini, directed by Alessandro D’Alatri. In the spot, she brushes off his advances with the now-iconic line “Antò, fa caldo,” framing the rejection as a matter of temperature rather than disinterest. The phrase stuck firmly in Italian pop culture and keeps resurfacing on social media with every heatwave, years after the ad first aired.
