I think 21341 is a better medium house. ;)

I can’t tell if the kid is supposed to be biting his lower lip or trying to whistle.

Just learned of the existence of Minitalia a couple of years ago and I always find these sets fascinating: green slope bricks didn't appear in regular Lego sets until more than 25 years later, and the Minitalia doors, windows, and shutters were of a scale and style that would not appear in regular Lego sets until nearly a decade later. The minifigures those door and window parts went with in the 1979-80s Town sets weren't even a glimmer in Lego designers' eyes back in 1970!

Seems pretty big for a medium house

This could almost do as i Cretor-house nowadays

Putting the 'build' in 'building'

According to some sources, the whole range was only released in Italy during the 1970s hence the name and there were differences in the plastic and design of the bricks.

A very interesting theme

Maybe old joke but it should be called Mediumtalia I guess.

It definitely has the longer set number, at least.

They have very tense relations with Latveria.

Maybe for Antman

We built this house!

The time Lego made a knockoff brand of itself because of Italian laws. Notice how the windows and door are slightly different enough from the Lego Versions. I don't remember why exactly they were allowed to sell as the same Lego company but with a "legally distinct" product.

I don't remember, but you can search the web about Minitalia. Or I guess if you don't care about potential inaccuracies ask an ai. I'm surprised no one else has clarified my comment yet with more information. Maybe someone is working on a multi comment essay about Minitalia. After all there's no rush, these comments are open for a week.

Apparently no such laws existed. The NE article does mention some new theories why this even exists, and identifies a comparable non-LEGO LEGO brand sold in Japan, called OLO.
