In 1987 he took part on the film Kamikazen: Last Night in Milan, where he plays the role of a Marshal of the Carabinieri. The partnership or the comic trio with Aldo Baglio and Giacomo Poretti was established (supported by Marina Massironi until 2000) the three made their debut on the big screen in 1997 with Three Men and a Leg, collaborating in the screenplay and the direction together with Massimo Venier; the big success to the box office, combined with a good critical reception, the trio was nominated for a David di Donatello in category "Best New Director", a Nastro d'argento speciale and a win at the Fort Lauderdale International Film Festival in category Best Comedy.
In the following year That's Life is released, where he acts with Aldo, Giacomo and Marina, taking care of the screenplay and the direction with Massimo Venier again. The film was a great success, placing first in the box office ratings of the 1998-1999 season and becoming one of the highest grossing films ever in Italy (34th position). In 1999 he gets hired to act in the film All The Moron's Men, playing the role of Pocoto, a Yakuza criminal accompanied by his henchmen Sakato (Aldo Baglio) and Mamoto (Giacomo Poretti).

In 2001 Giovanni was nominated for a Nastro d'argento for Best New Director together with Aldo and Giacomo. In 2002, the gangster film The Legend of Al, John and Jack was released, directed and written by the trio with Massimo Venier. Set in the 1958 New York, Giovanni plays the role of John La Puglia, a crook who with his brother Jack (Giacomo Poretti)'s complicity, tries to trick the crime boss Sam Genovese and collect his bounty. The film, like any other, was a considerable success and placed himself in the 33rd position among the greatest successes ever in Italy.
