Ferdinand I King of Naples is a comedy film released on December 22, 1959. Set in early nineteenth-century Naples, the film follows King Ferdinand I of the Two Sicilies, who is unpopular with the people. Also known as King Lazzarone, Ferdinand I of Bourbon neglects the government as a pastime, choosing instead to disguise himself as a poor man and head to the infamous city premises in search of love adventures. Public sentiment against the monarch is galvanized by Pulcinella and his theater troupe, whose comic stage performances are critical of the king and continually deliver hard sermons that earn a reputation among the Neapolitans. The film features the De Filippo brothers, along with cast members Peppino De Filippo, Titina De Filippo, Vittorio De Sica, and Aldo Fabrizi, under the direction of Gianni Franciolini. The comedy has a runtime of one hour and forty-five minutes.
