Cicero

The Profile

Italian film director and actor (1931–1995), known for popular comedies and a football parody starring Alvaro Vitali.

Born in Asmara (then Italian Eritrea) in 1931 and died in 1995; recognized for Italian comedic cinema and collaborations with Alvaro Vitali, including the football parody discussed in the review.

One review digs into Nando Cicero’s football parody starring Alvaro Vitali. The critic frames it as a grotesque mash-up of gossip, post-Totonero echoes, and detective tropes. Tone is sardonic, coining “dement-serious” for the film’s mood. Overall sentiment skews negative.
