The Traffic Officer

The Italianminifig minifigure pays tribute to one of the most iconic characters in Italian cinema: Otello Celletti, the traffic officer from the 1960 comedy “Il Vigile”, portrayed by Alberto Sordi. Printed in 360° on a genuine Lego base, the minifigure wears the classic vintage traffic officer uniform, complete with a helmet.

Otello Celletti became a symbol of the average Italian of the postwar era—caught between bureaucracy, ambition, and irresistible humor. Directed by Luigi Zampa, the film is a sharp and still-relevant satire on power and authority. This minifigure captures Otello’s spirit with a proud expression and confident stance, ready to direct traffic... or stop the mayor!

Every detail is carefully designed with historical accuracy and a touch of irony, celebrating not only a character but an unforgettable era of Italian cinema.

This minifigure is a must-have collectible for fans of classic films, Italian pop culture, and custom minifigs. Perfect for displaying alongside vintage posters, scale model cars, or other icons of Italy’s cinematic heritage.

(These products aren’t a toy: they aren’t suitable for children under the age of 14, due to the small parts that constitute them. They are collector's items of historical interest. Each Italianminifig item does not intend to celebrate any authoritarian regime, not intends to foment hatred or a repressive spirit towards freedom and human rights).
