I was curious about the other episode (titles) and as I haven't found them online, I bought a "complete" (Italian) VHS catalog with 35,000 entries on ~1,500 pages. (Not counting the index and several lists and genres like animations, sport etc, there are less than 1,000 pages. Knowing that the episodes were released under their (unknown) titles, I was prepared to check them all, but no need for that.
On the director's list and the VHS publisher's list there's only ep 3 mentioned. Looking up that (listed as that was the series title) there are 5 other episodes listed. 2 are already known (5+13) so these are 3 new episodes (unknown order)
-Il circo arriva in città (The Circus arrives in Town), Jerry pictured also in ep 13
-Il falco (The Hawk)
-Al lupo, al lupo! (A Wolf, A Wolf!)
Should be a comedy series. The length is also wrong not 90 but 45 minutes. IMDb knows 5, I found and bought ep 13 and the 2 digital ones. With the 3 new titles we have 11, so there are still 2 episodes missing. Probably as the VHS were for retail (or already OOP or released after March 2000).
Ep 3 is about the lady Luisa. Plot: One morning a black horse comes to the farm of Antonio and Luisa. The splendid steed rekindles in Luisa's memory the memory of Mercury, of when she was a girl, of when her destiny changed...
A riding scene is shown at the intro. And Sherazade probably only appears in the Circus episode (intro) and luckily there are flashbacks in the final episode. The first episode is called Il ritorno (The Return). I can only speculate that the kids return to the countryside like every year as it's mentioned in ep 13. So the cycle of life is not just the death of Elvira and a Newborn but also the visit of Igor.
I don't assume (many) bibs scenes in ep 3 and the Circus episode, at least Jerry (also) wore something else. But I could be wrong and there might be an undressing scene. But the episode is currently not available anyway. A Hawk is also plot of Le acque di Nessuno. The light grey bibs and the kids gang remind me of Ein Fall für TKKG (1985), see upcoming post. Maybe the book also helps finding my unknown Italian movie.
