Bella e perduta
Pietro Marcello
From the bowels of Vesuvius, Pulcinella, a foolish servant, is sent to present-day Campania to grant the last wish of Tommaso, a simple shepherd: he must rescue a young buffalo called Sarchiapone.
In the Royal Palace of Carditello, an abandoned Bourbon residence in the heart of the ‘Land of Fires' whose remains were looked after by Tommaso, Pulcinella finds the young buffalo and takes him northwards. The two servants, man and beast, embark upon a long journey throughout a lost and beautiful Italy.
