It is the first film of the comedy trio "I GianCattivi", formed by Athina Cenci, Francesco Nuti and Benvenuti, who won the Nastro d'Argento for Best New Director.[2] The film is set in Florence, Tuscany, with some scenes shot in Prato.[3][4] The title is an inside joke that refers to the Tuscan village of Paperino, which is a district of Prato; the film's surreal and grotesque undertones are also hinted by the title itself, since "Paperino" is also the Italian name for Donald Duck.[4]

gollark: I mean, mostly they're designed to separate bots and not-bots, but I suspect Google captchas are also meant to work as weirdly indirect rate limiting, as (when I was doing stuff like adding tens of bots an hour to my discord server) the captchas got progressively harder and then just refused to work entirely.
gollark: Captchas are designed to inflict suffering.
gollark: In general, definitely.
gollark: Anyway, did you solve the vectory thing yet?
