Abstract:
Italian Film Comedy has dealt for decades with Vitellonismo, an Italian phenomenon that is closely connected with that of familismo and clientelismo. This essay, which is part of a larger study, will discuss only three films and follow the changes of the vitelloni from Fellini's (1953), to Monicelli's in Amici miei of 1975, and conclude with a look at the vitelloni of the Berlusconi's era; those of Gabriele Muccino's L ultimo bacio of 2000.

Key-words:
Vitellonismo, vitelloni, mammoni, familismo, Fellini, Monicelli, Muccino
