Il Marchese del Grillo is a 1981 comedy film directed by Mario Monicelli, starring Alberto Sordi as the titular character. The movie depicts some episodes of the life of a noble in the Rome of the early XIX century. Loosely based on folklore accounts about the real Onofrio del Grillo (who actually lived in the XVIII century), this character plays a number of pranks, one even involving Pope Pius VII. The movie won two David di Donatello, four Nastri d'Argento in 1982 and a Silver Bear as Best Director at the Berlin International Film Festival, still in 1982.
