Il minestrone is a 1981 Italian comedy film directed by Sergio Citti. It was entered into the 31st Berlin International Film Festival.

The next day, they come upon Gildo Farnese, a failed industrialist who lost his entire fortune and who is about to commit suicide, saving him just in time, and after an initial skirmish, Gildo and his family join them. Gildo leads the group to the house of his father, a Marquis who initially humiliates him in front of the group by refusing to be moved by their plight while he samples bits from a vast spread of delicious dishes. The Marquis later accepts Gildo after forcing him to abandon his wife and children to their fate. For the rest of them, the search for food continues, and the group is joined by other strange characters that they come across. After a sumptuous and surreal imaginary lunch, they find a strange box on a beach and gorge on the gelatin in it, which is unfortunately merely packing material for a missile. Poisoned by the ingestion of this nonedible substance, they are all admitted to a clinic, where they meet a holy man Gaber, who convinces them to follow him. But he is not of sound mind, and he takes them quite by chance to a mountain pass, where the orchestra performs the Tyrolean leitmotif of the film music was created and directed by Nicola Piovani, while the closing credits roll.
