Important announcement for Toronto Members:

Plot

Princess Letizia lives in the magnificent castle of a small principality together with her father the King, and the Chamberlain Anastasio. The young girl is sad and frustrated: she’s being ignored by both the gossip magazines and her subjects. The King orders the Chamberlain to prepare a plan that will help Letizia give her people something to talk and dream about again. It’s an easy ploy to set up: all she has to do is pretend to fall in love with a poor wretch, Antonio De Biase, an unemployed Neapolitan and professional moocher, create a scandal, and all the magazines will start talking about her. To be accepted at the “upper levels”, he’ll have to follow the lessons in etiquette and good manners imparted by the strict Anastasio. Romantic and comical situations are interwoven into a hilarious comedy rich with surprises and plot twists.

Trama

La principessa Letizia vive nello splendido castello di un piccolo principato con suo padre il Re, e il ciambellano Anastasio. La giovane è triste e frustrata: i rotocalchi non si occupano di lei e i sudditi la ignorano. Il Re, ordina al Ciambellano di preparare un piano affinché Letizia faccia di nuovo sognare il suo popolo. L’imbroglio è presto fatto: fingere di innamorarsi di un povero miserabile Antonio De Biase, napoletano disoccupato e maestro nell’arte dello scrocco, creare lo scandalo e far parlare tutti i rotocalchi. Antonio per accedere ai “piani alti” dovrà seguire gli insegnamenti di etichetta e galateo imposti dal rigido Anastasio. Un intreccio di situazioni romantiche e comiche per una commedia esilarante e ricca di colpi di scena.
