Wissenswertes
Actor Paolo Stoppa, who plays Pope Pio VII in this movie, has the unusual record of having played the role of a Pope no less than four times in his career, including Saint Peter in Nerone (1977), Alexander III in Becket (1964) and an unnamed Pope in Jus primae noctis (1972).

Patzer
The Marquis Onofrio Del Grillo is in a bedroom with the beautiful French opera singer Olympia, played by Caroline Berg: she, completely naked, goes to the basin to wash herself and then turns her back showing the marks of the bikini on her tanned skin. Considering the historical period (1800 in Papal Rome), no woman in Europe knew and used a bikini.

Side splitting, masterful, Monicelli comedy

Once somebody asked Robert De Niro who was the actor that inspired him the most. The legendary actor's answer was "Alberto Sordi".The same somebody asked the same question to Jain Maria Volonte'.The answer was ,You have guessed it,the same. The Roman actor is surely the greatest Italy ever produced, and this movie is the perfect example of the power and purity of Sordi's acting. The Marchese antics are well known in Rome,told in endless jokes and stories.Monicelli takes all these stories and makes a fusion in order to create the perfect screenplay.The only thing one could not like about the story is the fact that the Marchese character is so large that almost all the others are left to play in the background.But again the Marchese was indeed larger that life! The only actor that could play the main role had to be Sordi.No one could have portrayed the Marchese so well.And no one could have played two characters so well.Because one must not forget Gasperio er carbonaro. The red neck carbon dealer is even funnier than the Marchese.Sordi shows what acting is all about when wearing the dirty clothes of the drunken Gasperino.The scene where Gasperino is woken by the Marchese trusty butler has to be one of the funniest ever. Overall the movie is a classic.If one is a fan of Italian comedy,this movie is a must see.If one also loves Sordi,then the movie is indeed a gem.
