Where it was filmed 'Caccia al tesoro'

A bankrupt theatrical company, forced to close up shop, holds a performance in a theatre in Largo Banchi Nuovi, Naples. Domenico, an unsuccessful actor, is staying with Rosetta in a building in Via Toledo, whose terrace also featured in Operazione San Gennaro, shows the drum-shaped cupola of Basilica dello Spirito Santo and Castel Sant’Elmo in the background.

Domenico and Rosetta turn to the statue of San Gennaro for help with a problem in the Basilica di San Paolo Maggiore, Piazza San Gaetano. Not far off, while sitting at the tables of a bar in Piazzetta Divino Amore, they have to accept Ferdinando as a partner and, while walking down Via San Biagio dei Librai, come up with a plan to steal the Saint’s mitre. They fail in their attempt and retreat disconsolately to Vico Fico al Purgatorio after making some new “friends”.

They will all meet up in Turin where the treasure of San Gennaro is on display in the city building in Piazza Palazzo di Città. Domenico, Ferdinando and little Gennarino get off the tram in Piazza Vittorio Veneto to go to their hotel. The relationship between the members of the strange gang begins to go stronger, in Piazza San Carlo Claudia buys seed so Gennaro can feed the pigeons. A stroll in Parco del Valentino helps them figure out the plan, thanks, in part, to a drone.

However, the mitre sets off for Cannes, the last stage on its journey before returning home. The film closes on the Maschio Angioino, with Vesuvius behind, to the strains of Napul’è, the late Pino Daniele’s love-song to his city.
