The Gold of Naples

Sofi (Sophia Loren) and husband (Giacomo Furia) intrude on the spectacular bereavement of Paolo Stoppa, whose wife died after he bought a pizza from them, into which her wedding ring (which we suspect she left with her lover) may have been baked, in the Pizza On Credit episode from Gold Of Naples, 1954.

Top-billed Silvana Mangano is the title character of the vignette called Teresa, whom, we infer, is a prostitute, being hired by an intermediary (Ubaldo Maestri) to marry an eligible merchant (Erno Crisa), for reasons not apparent to her, in Vittorio De Sica’s Gold Of Naples, 1954.

The celebrated Italian comic “Toto” is the father, Lianella Carrell his wife, griping about the racketeer who’s been dominating their home for ten years when he (Pasquale Cennamo) appears, demonstrating his power over the family, in the first vignette in Vittorio De Sica’s Gold Of Naples, 1954.
