Benigni Vita de Cioni

Sarcastic, desperate, furious: these are the extraordinary monologues of the first Roberto Benigni, who here impersonates the legendary underclass Mario Cioni. Directed by Giuseppe Bertolucci, Vita da Cioni landed on Rai s Second Network in 1978 after being blocked by censors for two years due to its many irreverences on topics such as sex and politics. Director: Giuseppe Bertolucci Cast: Roberto Benigni, Carlo Monni, Chiara Moretti
