Allonsanfàn (1974) is an Italian drama film directed by Paolo and Vittorio Taviani with the score written by Ennio Morricone.

The film is set in early 19th-century Italy and stars Marcello Mastroianni as Fulvio Imbriani, an Italian middle-aged aristocrat-turned-revolutionary, losing his commitment to a secret revolutionary society.
