It was partly filmed in Italy. It was called in russian: "Невероятные приключения итальянцев в России": http://www.russiandvd.com/store/product.asp?sku=8338&genreid=&genresubid= Or in English: "Unbelievable Adventures of Italians in Russia" It was made in 1972.

It means 'Mad, mad, mad race in Russia'. It's, really, very funny. I've seen it this year in a festival of soviet films, here. From the same director, Eldar Ryazonov, I've seen also the commedies 'Irony of Fate' and 'Garazh'. They are both very good.

Google search should help you find it.
