Amici miei – Come tutto ebbe inizio (lit. 'My friends: how it all began') is a 2011 Italian comedy film directed by Neri Parenti.[1]
The film is meant to be a tribute to Mario Monicelli's classic comedy My Friends (1975) and its two sequels, and it is set in 15th-century Florence.[2][3] The main plot of the film is based on an Italian Renaissance novella known as Novella del Grasso legnaiuolo ("Tale of the Fat Carpenter").[4]
