Castellano & Pipolo
Italian film directors and screenwriters
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Castellano & Pipolo is the stage name used by the pair of Italian screenwriters and film directors Franco Castellano[1][2] (1925–1999) and Giuseppe "Pipolo" Moccia[2] (1933–2006). Together, they wrote the screenplays for about seventy films, and directed twenty films, mainly comedies.[3][4] Their 1984 film Il ragazzo di campagna was shown as part of a retrospective on Italian comedy at the 67th Venice International Film Festival.[5]
On 21 January 2025, the municipality of Rome placed a plaque at the Municipio III park in memory of the duo.[6]
