The friend who studied Philosophy. He was in the early part of the movie when they were taking exams. He had a terrific smile!

I believe he is the same man who got laid off from the car factory, then eventually started his own construction company that worked on the house in Tuscany.

That's what I think too.

Yeah he's the construction worker that didn't go through as great of a career arc as the other two. Remember early in the film they discuss how one in three graduates will probably struggle to find work? Foreshadowing.

Can't keep me off this escalator!

I don't think so. These are two different characters. The construction guy was Vitale. In my oppinion Berto just dissapeared from their lives. This happens...

Giovanni Scifoni: Berto
Claudio Gioè: Vitale Micavi

Two different characters altogether.
