The Finzi Detective Agency (Italian: Agenzia Riccardo Finzi... praticamente detective) is a 1979 Italian crime-comedy film written and directed by Bruno Corbucci and starring Renato Pozzetto. It is loosely based on the comic character Riccardo Finzi created by Max Bunker.[1][2]
Plot[edit]
Riccardo Finzi is a private investigator who moves to Milan in search of fortune. On his first night in town he meets a mysterious girl named Susy, who is later found dead. Convinced of foul play, he and his assistant Giuseppe decide to investigate.
In pop culture[edit]
Investigator Riccardo Finzi, a supporter of football club A.C. Monza, declared in a sentence: "I support Monza, we will never be able to reach the Serie A".[3] The quote became a classic in Monza culture, and was made part of a fan chant: "Il nostro Calcio Monza è in C1, e non andremo mai in Serie A. Ma io non mollerò, questa è la mia mentalità. segui anche tu la squadra della tua città" (Our Calcio Monza is in [Serie] C1, and we will never go to Serie A. But I will not give up, this is my mentality. You too follow the team of your city).[4]
