What If I Just Ranked Every Single Luca Marinelli Character From The Least Hot To The Absolute Hottest?
Based entirely on how a character looks and literally nothing else. Let’s go.
21. Andrea (La grande bellezza)
Sorry, dude.
20. Fabrizio (Nina)
Maybe he would be higher if I could actually see him.
19. Diabolik (Diabolik)
Nice widow’s peak, asshole.
18. Saint Joseph (Maria di Nazaret)
It’s the constant dumb expression on his face for me.
17. Ettore (Lasciati andare)
He looks like shit but at least he’s got flavor.
16. Mattia Balossino (La solitudine dei numeri primi)
He’s fine, but he’s nothing special.
15. Paolo (Il padre d’Italia)
Let’s be real, he’s sweet but he’s nothing special either.
14. Valerio (Slam - Tutto per una ragazza)
I know you guys wanna bang him. I guess some people just like risking STDs for a quick disappointing fuck.
13. Roberta (L’ultimo terrestre)
The absolute queen. She would have been higher on the list with more appearances and a better wig.
12. Nicky/Nicolo di Genova (The Old Guard)
Those sideburns, man. Also when there was an actual theory going around that Nicky was made ugly on purpose for this movie, do you expect him to land in the top 10? (He’s not ugly btw I’m just quoting you guys.)
11. Loris (Il mondo fino in fondo)
He’s hot and that’s the only thing he’s got going for him.
10. Gabriele (Waves)
He’s hot like Loris but in a more refreshing way.
9. Cesare (Non essere cattivo)
He’s hella cute y’all are just haters.
8. Fabio (Lo chiamavano Jeeg Robot)
He’s very hot and he would have been in the top 5 if he washed his hair more often.
7. Guido Caselli (Tutti i santi giorni)
You don’t need me to explain why he’s so high on the list.
6. Martin Eden (Martin Eden)
If you’re curious why this one is so high on the list, ask literally every movie critic who was waxing poetic about his beauty.
5. Mickey Miranda (Die Pfeiler der Macht)
He’s hot and slutty and he looks like no Luca has ever looked. Saint Joseph wishes he had those curls.
4. Milton (Una questione privata)
He’s like Martin Eden but softer, younger and with kinder eyes.
3. Fabrizio de André (Fabrizio de André - Principe libero)
He’s so soft and beautiful and his hair is so silky.
2. Lui (Ricordi?)
There’s just something about him that is so arrrggghhh that I just couldn’t put him lower.
1. Primo Nizzuto (Trust)
Like there could ever be anyone else at number 1. Puh-lease.

The Ultimate And Entirely Correct Ranking Of Every Single Luca Marinelli Character
What? Another one of those? How many rankings can this bitch produce? A lot, trust me. This one is less shallow than the previous one which was about appearances, but unlike all my older posts where I tried to do something analytical, this list doesn’t even pretend to be intellectual or based on anything other than my own personal feelings about the characters Luca has played.
21. Fabrizio (Nina)
When we’re judging characters based on their own merit rather than any other factors, I think the exam rules apply: If you don’t show up, you get a zero. Fabrizio didn’t show up. He’s a nothing character and there’s nothing to say about him.
20. Andrea (La grande bellezza)
With a whole minute of total screen time, Andrea gets a zero, too. He’s not dead last only because I can actually describe him using adjectives.
19. Diabolik (Diabolik)
Congrats to this charisma-free robot on once again being shittier than Saint Joseph.
18. Saint Joseph (Maria di Nazaret)
He is shitty and useless but at least he’s sorta kind? Can’t even say this much about Diabolik.
17. Guido Caselli (Tutti i santi giorni)
Here’s my hottest take: Guido is creepy, pathetic, blindly dedicated to his shitty girlfriend because he likes her lyrics (literally, there’s no other reason) and he’s a doormat and a half. I know you all love him and please don’t stop on my account but you should probably know this movie is bad and its main characters are also bad.
16. Valerio (Slam - Tutto per una ragazza)
He’s a shitty human being and he’s completely useless and worthless. He annoys me less that Guido because he’s fun to watch.
15. Loris (Il mondo fino in fondo)
A homophobic dumb bitch who believes his god-given duty is to wipe his shitty little bro’s ass. Also he’s bland and his attempts at asserting his toxic masculinity are pathetic.
14. Lui (Ricordi?)
We get it, his dad was bad and his childhood was super fucking hard. He’s still whiny and depressing as hell, not to mention he’s a college professor who fucks his students.
13. Martin Eden (Martin Eden)
God, what a pompous ass with his shitty libertarian politics and the air of self-importance thicker than the drug-fueled haze in which he spends the last 15 minutes of that movie.
12. Mattia Balossino (La solitudine dei numeri primi)
He didn’t deserve the shit that befell him, and he basically did nothing wrong (he was a little kid seeking validation, ok?) but he’s also not as interesting as the rest of the guys.
11. Milton (Una questione privata)
My dumb bisexual son, feeling helpless at the cruelty and meaninglessness of war. I can’t help but love him, but I mostly sigh and feel sorry for him.
10. Ettore (Lasciati andare)
Yes, he’s a petty criminal, but he’s clearly a victim of an abusive parent and a flawed education system. If he had been given a chance, he’d have grown up into a good member of society, but even as he is, he’s sweet and harmless and way less homophobic than the supposedly educated Loris. Ettore deserved better.
9. Roberta (L’ultimo terrestre)
Speaking of the one who deserved better, I can’t even think about that movie and its treatment of this kind and sweet soul. Fuck literally everyone who isn’t her.
8. Gabriele (Waves)
The purest, sweetest boy. He deserves his little boat and a hot boat daddy.
7. Mickey Miranda (Die Pfeiler der Macht)
Skanky bitch who lives for drama. If this list was based on the morals and deeds of the characters, Mickey would definitely crack the bottom 3. However, I appreciate an entertaining son of a bitch who is solely responsible for bringing life to an otherwise dull, soul-sucking movie.
6. Nicky/Nicolo di Genova (The Old Guard)
Yep, not even in top 5. Still, I’m not saying he isn’t good or anything. It’s just that most of his character’s goodness is implied rather than explored on screen, and there are five boys who got more than that.
5. Paolo (Il padre d’Italia)
Here we have a soft, vulnerable boy who deserves happiness. Placing Paolo was a little difficult because even though he’s not a very challenging character, he makes up for his straightforward goodness with quite interesting, very internalized flaws while avoiding being a clichéd self-hating gay. Also he’s just a good sweet boy whomst I love. Is that a crime?
4. Fabrizio de André (Fabrizio de André - Principe libero)
He edges out Paolo because he’s a little more complicated and does more stuff in his much longer movie. He is talented, rebellious, vulnerable and flawed, and I just think he’s neat.
3. Fabio Cannizzaro (Lo chiamavano Jeeg Robot)
Is he as complex or complicated as some of the guys he edged out? No, not at all. But is he endlessly entertaining and literally the best part of this terrible, terrible movie? Absolutely. Also, can I just say, king of style? Excellent mix of menace and patheticness. I love him and so do you.
2. Cesare (Non essere cattivo)
He manages to combine immense, almost paradoxical likeabilty with fun as well as sadness. It is wild to me that he and Vittorio are both equal protagonists (with Vittorio even taking up more space) when Cesare is so much more developed, with rich inner life and very real and human flaws. Cesare is infinitely watchable and manages to thread the needle of being tragic but not pitiful.
1. Primo Nizzuto (Trust)
Who is suprised? Literally nobody didn’t see this coming. Primo is the best: the most complex, the most interesting, the best-written, the best-dressed, the hottest, the smartest, the most cunning and ruthless. He is literally the superlative character. The day he doesn’t top a list of best characters is the day I’ve been kidnapped and replaced by an impostor.
