Deep Dive

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Villaggio based Fantozzi on his own father, a Genoese clerk who died believing himself a failure.

Cultural

The 'mega-party' scene in Fantozzi (1975) invented Italian corporate satire; Berlusconi's media empire later stole its visual language.
