Zastava hatch based on 128. 101 - or other name used in I? Unusual for Italy?

Few were imported by small importers with the original name (Zastawa S 101)

It indeed reminds 1977/78 101 S (Super), except side slats, which were more typical for "Confort" I think. So it was called in different order - "S 101" - in Italy due to Peugeot?

In Holland they were sold as 1100 (indeed because of Peugeot claim of x0x). Don't know how they were called in Italy, though.

Could be a Slovenian car... Trieste is located almost on the confine between Italy and Slovenia

Of course it was still Yugoslavia then.

Strange...I don't think so that Zastavas were exported to Italy.Maybe it's external car,par exemple from France or Yugoslavia...Or,if Zastavas were saled in Italy,I think,only as Fiat,par exemple like in Finland http://img426.imageshack.us/img426/1853/zastava1100z02tr9.jpg http://img481.imageshack.us/img481/6190/zastava1100z04tn5.jpg as Fiat 1100Z or 128Z(info from serbian site Zastava Fan Club).So I think,that's Zastava 101 C (Confort/Comfort)

As Neon said, Trieste is right next to the Slovenian border - or, as it was when this film was made, the Yugoslavian border. I suggest deleting "made for I" since there's a very strong possibility that it's a visitor from across the border.

Not officially imported but a very small company "Autograziella" in Turin imported for a short while both Zastavas 101s and Seat 133 series II in Italy. I suspect the number was very very low, let's say 50 or less for both but I actually don't know more.
It is much more possible that this is the case of a Yugoslavian visitor in Italy. I often saw a Zastava 750 Painted in Yellow in the late 70s and early 80s in Turin.
