My brother's clumsy, Colonel. When he gets unhappy, he... breaks things.
~ Dino trying to intimidate the Colonel

Dino Vercotti is a minor antagonist of Monty Python's Flying Circus. He is a low-level East End gangster with Sicilian connections who wears sunglasses, similarly to his brother and colleague, Luigi. He is shown to be very similar to his brother as both of them are involved in poorly disguised illegal businesses.

He was portrayed by the late Terry Jones, who also played Cardinal Biggles in the same series, and the left head of the Three-Headed Giant in Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Personality[]

Similarly to his brother, Dino is a cunning and deceitful con man who treats everyone horribly and does everything only for himself. It seems that the only people that Dino and Luigi truly care about is their family as they both are a homage to mafia figures at that time, who stereotypically only care for their families.

Biography[]

During the sketch "Army Protection Racket" sketch, him and his brother intimidate The Colonel into their service by guaranteeing that not a single armored division would get done over so long as he paid them fifteen bob a week. However, the Colonel finds the premise of the sketch to be too silly and puts a stop to it. Luigi accuses him of not coming up with a proper punchline, which the Colonel denies. He is then hinted to be attending his nephew Francesco Luigi Vercotti's baptism during the sketch "The Bishop", in which the baby is revealed to be a bomb to assassinate Reverend Neuk.
