Carlo Pisacane (1889 – 1974) was an Italian actor who performed in over 70 films, including spaghetti Westerns like Death Rides a Horse (1968) and parodies like For a Few Dollars Less (1966). He's best remembered for his appearances in comedic classics like Big Deal on Madonna Street and its sequel Audace colpo dei soliti ignoti where he played the elderly and gluttonous small-time crook "Capannelle" and for his role as the miserly Jewish merchant Abacuc in L'Armata Brancaleone.

Biography

Carlo Pisacane a joué dans des films de genres très divers, dès 1932, des westerns spaghetti, comme Da uomo a uomo (1967) de Giulio Petroni avec Lee Van Cleef, ou des parodies comme Pour quelques dollars de moins (1966). Il est préférable de rappeler ses apparitions dans des comédies classiques (comédies à l'italienne) comme Le Pigeon (I soliti ignoti) (1958) de Mario Monicelli, sorti en 1958, et sa suite, tournée en 1959 par Nanni Loy, Hold-up à la milanaise (Audace colpo dei soliti ignoti) dans lesquels il interprétait, aux côtés de Vittorio Gassman, Totò, Claudia Cardinale, Renato Salvatori et Marcello Mastroianni (uniquement dans le premier), le rôle de Capannelle, un petit escroc âgé et glouton, ou de son rôle du petit commerçant juif misérable Abacuc dans L'Armata Brancaleone de Mario Monicelli (1966), présenté en compétition au Festival de Cannes.

Napoleon (Lando Buzzanca) is a small-time crook with big ideas. In prison in Naples where he is serving time for a robbery charge, he is sprung by accident when a foppish villain calling himself the Baron (Pinuccio Ardia) and his two "numb-skull" cohorts, Agonia (Ugo Fangareggi) and the Captain (Dante Maggio), tunnel under his cell, having lost their way to an expected bank vault. Napoleon escapes with his rescuers through the tunnel, and upon arrival on the outside of the prison, he discovers that the three are flat broke, despite the well-dressed appearance of the Baron. Napoleon swiftly asserts himself as leader of the group by pretending to be a master criminal and suggests that they move to Rome for richer pickings. The four of them are forced to travel to Rome in the back of a cattle truck since they do not have a car.

In Italy in the Sixties, a gang of American thieves arrive in Naples to steal the famous Treasure of San Gennaro. However the Americans do not know how to move in the picturesque town. For the customs of the natives are too weird and incomprehensible to them. So the two men and the girl (the gang members) go to a prison, following the advice of a friend. There he would find the man who would have done in their case. It is a certain Don Vincenzo, a very famous in the city for his theft. He however, since it is known by everyone there, is treated in the prison as a gentleman by the guards with all possible facilities. The Americans, when they see this type of treatment, impossible in a country like them, remain quite stunned. Don Vincenzo warmly received them and advises them to go to Naples to look for a certain Armandino Girasole, said "Dudù". He, a young thief by profession, would help them steal the treasure of San Gennaro, fortunately not mentioned by the Americans to Don Vincenzo. The Americans, keeping secret the purpose of theft, meet Dudù and agree with him.
