Ferdinando I, re di Napoli is a 1959 Italian comedy film directed by Gianni Franciolini.
Plot
King Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies is unpopular with the people in early nineteenth-century Naples. Public sentiment is galvanized by Pulcinella and his theater troupe, whose stage performances are critical of the king. Worried about the spread of Republican ideas, the king goes incognito among his subjects to gain first-hand impressions. When he stumbles into Pulcinella's orbit, complications ensue.
