Summaries

  • Checco is an immigrant from Southern Italy living in Milan, in the North. After failing his exam to join the Italian gendarmerie, he's hired as a security guard at Milan's Cathedral, but is spotted by Muslim extremists.
  • Checco, an uneducated but self-satisfied fellow from Milan who has always dreamed of becoming a police officer, fails his entrance exam for the third time, and also commented at the oral examination that the reason he wanted to join the police was benefits-in-kind and cronyism. But the young man's connections get him a security-guard job at the Milan Cathedral--but of course he proves to be a living catastrophe. Spotted by Sufien, an Muslim extremist who is preparing an attack against the cathedral, Checco appears to be the perfect sucker. To manipulate him, he sends his charming sister Farah to seduce him.—Guy Bellinger
  • Checco, living in Milan, Lombardy, Northern Italy, but coming from Alberobello, in the Southern Region of Apulia, tries to follow his uncle's footsteps and join the Arma dei Carabinieri, the Italian gendermerie. Despite multiple attempts, he is refused due to telling stories about how his uncle used his authority for personal reasons. A priest helps him get a job as security guard in the Milan Cathedral (the Duomo). Unfortunately, the same Colonel who refused him is in charge of Duomo security, much to his anger. After many mistakes, Checco is placed to guard the "Madonnina," the highest statue on top of the Cathedral. Muslim siblings Sufien and Farah, seeking vengeance against the West, try to have him accidentally bring a bomb under the statue; Sufien sends Farah to seduce the simple, uneducated Southern Italian.—Aledownload
