Risi, Operazione San Gennaro (The Treasure of San Gennaro) 1966
When two American criminals travel to Italy to steal the jewels of the Cathedral of Naples, they soon find out that things work a little bit differently than back home: a famous thief in prison is treated as a gentleman by the guards; local gangsters refuse to plan for the theft, preferring to go to a soccer match; and the Italian criminals are sure to pray at the Shrine of San Gennaro before going through with the robbery. A comic look at the differences between American and Italian culture featuring the famous Toto'.
