"Nothing Left to Do But Cry" - What's up with the Outfits? (Time Travel Edition)

Okay, so I just re-watched "Nothing Left to Do But Cry" and while the plot is totally bonkers (time travel to 1492?!) I couldn't help but focus on the costumes - or rather, the lack of impressive costumes. We're talking about 15th-century Italy! Think rich fabrics, layers, and all that Renaissance glam. But Massimo Troisi and Lello Arena basically wander around in peasant garb, right? Like, REALLY basic peasant garb. So my theory is...was it intentional? I think the costume choices, or the lack thereof, play into the whole comedy of the film. Imagine them rocking up in super detailed Renaissance outfits. It would be trying too hard. The simplicity of their clothes makes them even more out of place, highlighting the fish-out-of-water dynamic. Like, the scene where they try to blend in at the tavern? If they were dressed to the nines, it wouldn't be as funny. I think it's a subtle way to underscore the absurdity of their situation. And maybe even a little dig at Hollywood's often over-the-top historical depictions? Also, did anyone else notice how the teen they befriended, Vitello, actually had slightly nicer clothes? Like the material seemed a bit better. It's a tiny detail but it made Vitello seem just a little more 'important,' even though he's basically a nobody. I low-key loved his jacket (for real!). Anyway, just my two cents, lol. What do y'all think? Am I overthinking it, or is there something to this costume theory?
