I saw an Italian family in a film drinking wine from glasses without stems. Unusual? Why do others have stems?

Not unusual at all. Table wine is perfectly fine being served in a non-stemmed glass. The reasoning behind stemware is so that your hand doesn't warm up the glass... which most people don't realize and hold it by the goblet. Table wine served at most meals in Italy, though better than what we get here in the US, isn't of such high quality that it matters. Take a common pilsner like PBR for example, the proper serving glass is a Pilsner glass, shaped kinda like a large champagne flute with a stubby stem. Most often it is served in a standard shaker (pint glass), why? Because it doesn't really matter.
