West of Paperino

West of Paperino (Italian: Ad ovest di Paperino) is a 1981 Italian comedy film directed by Alessandro Benvenuti.

[1] It is the first film of the comedy trio "I GianCattivi", formed by Athina Cenci, Francesco Nuti and Benvenuti, who won the Nastro d'Argento for Best New Director.

[2] The film is set in Florence, Tuscany, with some scenes shot in Prato.

[3][4] The title is an inside joke that refers to the Tuscan village of Paperino, which is a district of Prato; the film's surreal and grotesque undertones are also hinted by the title itself, since "Paperino" is also the Italian name for Donald Duck.
