Boccaccio '70 is a 1962 Italian portmanteau film directed by Mario Monicelli, Federico Fellini, Luchino Visconti and Vittorio de Sica, from an idea by Cesare Zavattini. It is an anthology of four episodes, each by one of the directors, all about a different aspect of morality and love in modern times, in the style of Boccaccio. The four original episodes were:
- Renzo e Luciana (by Mario Monicelli) with Marina Solinas and Germano Gilioli.
- Le tentazioni del dottor Antonio (by Federico Fellini) with Peppino de Filippo and Anita Ekberg.
- Il lavoro (by Luchino Visconti) with Romy Schneider and Tomas Milian.
- La riffa (by Vittorio de Sica) with Sophia Loren.
The first episode, by Monicelli, was only present in the Italian distribution of the film. Out of solidarity towards Monicelli, the other three directors did not go to the Cannes Film Festival for the presentation of the film.
