The title is a hommage to Bianco, rosso e Verdone (1981), Carlo Verdone's second movie as director. Although officially unrelated and differently set (the 1981 movie is a road movie following three characters at the same time, the 2008 movie is made of three separate episodes), the characters of the latter movie clearly reference in attitudes and appearance the one of the former: naive Leo Nuvolone recalls Mimmo, obsessive professor Callisto Cagnato recalls Furio, while the couple Moreno and Enza Vecchiarutti (Claudia Gerini) is a clear reference to newlyweds Ivano and Jessica Mancini (always played by Verdone and Gerini) of Viaggi di nozze (1995). Taciturn Pasquale Ametrano from the 1981 movie didn't get an alter ego in this movie. For some aspect is then possibile to assume that, despite the different names, the characters of this movie represent a more mature "family man" version of the 1981/1995 ones. Actually, Furio is the only one of the original movie already having a family (wife Magda, played by Irina Sanpiter, and children Antongiulio and Antonluca), while his counterpart in the 2008 movie, prof. Callisto Cagnato, is a widower with only one son, Severiano (Andrea Miglio Risi). Also Cagnato's personality appears slighty different than Furio's one: always obsessive and pedantic, but much more cinic, corrupt and in particular a terrible father. Actually, he reminds much more the character of prof. Raniero Cotti Borroni (Carlo Verdone) of Viaggi di nozze (1995), who was already a widower and got married with Fosca Quinti (Veronica Pivetti), bringing her to suicide like his first wife. Indeed, prof. Cagnato at the beginning shows to his son the paintings of his former deceased wives (supposed to be more than two) but showing him his wrong mother. The only difference between Raniero (already a "derivative" of Furio) and prof. Cagnato is that the former is a luminary of medicine, the latter an art professor, anyway they are both passionate academicians.
