What happens

Comment faire cocus les maris jaloux (Come fu che Masuccio Salernitano, fuggendo con le brache in mano, riuscì a conservarlo sano) est une comédie italienne réalisée par Silvio Amadio et sortie en 1972. Le film s'inspire de l'œuvre Il Novellino, publiée à titre posthume en 1476 et attribuée à Masuccio Salernitano : un recueil de nouvelles satiriques et grotesques qui faisait partie des livres interdits par les communautés ecclésiastiques. L'atmosphère blasphématoire, satirique et boccaccienne domine tout le film, restituant une ambiance de « blague médiévale ». (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
