Dunfermline cruised to a 4th successive league win courtesy of hat-tricks from Boccaccio and Marletta and a brace from Cantelli.
Much had been made about abundance of players at Perugini's disposal, but in the end, owing to various illnesses, only 7 players managed to turn up for this encounter against bottom side Santorre.
Therefore, Perugini deployed himself in goal, with Frassinelli the only recognised defender partnered by Bovalino at the back.
Marletta retained his position in the middle of the park and was flanked by Boccaccio on the left and Lenza on the right, with Cantelli completing the starting VII upfront.
Marletta had a couple of chances before the Pars found their breakthrough courtesy of a lovely combination between Cantelli, who passed sideways, and Boccaccio, whose half-volley ended up in the far corner to make it 1-0.
Dunfermline didn't have to do much at the back, and therefore threw themselves forward pretty often, with Cantelli laying balls back beautifully for the oncoming Boccaccio, Lenza and Marletta.
And from one of those inspired moves, Cantelli fed the ball into the path of Marletta, who got rid of a defender before chipping the goalie to make it 2-0.
Boccaccio was on the scoresheet again soon afterwards, as a fine backheel delivery from Cantelli released him just in front of goal, leaving Boccaccio with the easiest of tap-ins from close range.
Then it was Marletta's moment again, with a pass from Lenza leaving the captain free to fire home from just outside the box.
Cantelli got his own rewards towards the end of the first half, as Bovalino cleared his lines and fed the No 6, whose lovely pass met the run of Marletta, who returned him the ball with a fine through pass and Cantelli blasted home with his left.
Before the end of the first period, Santorre managed to pull one back courtesy of an effort which cannoned off a Santorre player before finding its way into the back of the net.
HALF TIME: Dunfermline 5, Santorre 1
Proceedings were resumed and Dunfermline soon found a 6th goal, as a poor defensive clearance was intercepted by Marletta, who coolly slotted home from outside the box to reach double figures for the season.
Santorre pulled a further goal back, but they could've gone even closer had the penalty they were awarded been converted.
Instead, Perugini dived to his left and saved the spot-kick with ease, and the Pars soon netted another one, when a corner executed by Boccaccio gave Cantelli a chance to volley home with his left to make it 7-2.
The visitors managed to find their 3rd goal of the night, but Boccaccio didn't quite seem to have had enough and tried to wow his teammates with a beautifully taken overhead kick, only for the goalkeeper to produce his best save of the night and deny the winger.
Lenza and Marletta also went close with a volley apiece, with both efforts being blocked by the keeper and the defence.
Boccaccio eventually did score his third as a brilliant move was capped by the sweetest of deliveries from Frassinelli, once again leaving The Pars' No 2 with an easy tap-in.
Frassinelli also had a couple of chances to score himself, but an effort from well inside the box was mis-kicked wide by the defender.
