Maria Giovanna Elmi

The fake report about Troisi's death, with the direction of Troisi himself with Lello Arena and Anna Pavignano. A long of list people greet the comediam, from Gianni Boncompagni to Maria Giovanna Elmi. There is also Benigni, hidden behind a window, and Arena, his guardian angel.

Ovidio is a bored and tediously repetitive middle-school teacher, an easy target both for his students’ disgusting pranks and for the principal’s reprimands. The monotony of his yawning days is unexpectedly broken when, after twenty years of absence, his twin brother Raf turns up: an overexcited, down-and-out singer who performs for a few small-time, undemanding audiences in shabby venues on the outskirts of town. Without so much as a by-your-leave, Raf moves into his brother’s home and lives off him, shamelessly playing the part of a carefree rogue while dragging Ovidio into a series of embarrassing misunderstandings.

Despite being penniless, Antonino Scannapieco possesses a convincing eloquence. Having obtained money from friends to travel to Rome to consult a luminary about his dandruff problem, he sets off for the capital, where various misadventures await him.

Based on a supposed screenplay by Fellini that fell out of a window, Arbore tells the southern story of a shaggy-haired Neapolitan girl, a toilet attendant, who arrives in the foggy north to become a singer, and whom he becomes her boorish manager.
