Nino Taranto

Totò stars in this hilarious 1963 historical comedy directed by Sergio Corbucci. Disguised as a monk to escape persecution, a poor man finds refuge in a convent of rebellious nuns. With its irreverent humor and satirical take on religion and politics, the film showcases Totò's comedic genius and remains a classic of Italian farce. Also featuring Erminio Macario and Nino Taranto.

In Mario Costa’s 1957 comedy, Alberto Sordi and Nino Taranto play two scheming relatives who go to absurd lengths to claim an inheritance from a wealthy American uncle. Their dreams of riches lead to comic twists and revealing truths. A lively farce about greed and delusion, the film captures the spirit of Italy's postwar boom and features Sordi in one of his early standout roles.
