About Il presidente del Borgorosso Football Club
Benito Fornaciari, a pale, devoutly Catholic, Upper Middleclass Italian inherits a minor-league football club from a long-lost uncle. He decides to visit the club to sell it, but the local population has other ideas: through an almost-armed uprising they "force" him not to sell the club but lead it to other glories on the football field.
Directed by Luigi Filippo D'Amico, Il presidente del Borgorosso Football Club leans on a strong ensemble — Alberto Sordi, Margarita Lozano, Daniele Vargas — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1970.
