Three Men and a Leg (it|Tre uomini e una gamba) is a 1997 Italian road film and romantic comedy co-written and co-directed by the comedy trio Aldo, Giovanni & Giacomo and by Massimo Venier.[1] [2] [3] [4]
Three friends – Aldo, Giovanni, and Giacomo – have to travel from Milan to Gallipoli, in Apulia, to celebrate Giacomo's wedding. The bride’s father, who is the trio's employer and father-in-law as well (whose other two daughters are already married to Aldo and Giovanni), is a rich and vulgar businessman who doesn't like his sons-in-law and gave them the heavy task of bringing him a wooden leg, which turns out to be an art piece from a famous artist who's about to die — hence the piece will soon become of great value. The three men set off on their journey and soon meet Chiara, a young painting restorer who’s on her way to Greece. Her car breaks down, and Aldo, Giovanni and Giacomo try to help her, leading to the blossoming of a beautiful friendship and a deep connection between Giacomo and Chiara that will make him and his friends question the whole point of their journey.
