"La Vedovella"  
(Pretty widow)

by Silvio SIANO , 1964 


type: commedy


The film, shot in Maratea and surroundings, was one of many "light" feature films by Peppino De Filippo, enlivened by the presence of a very young Margaret Lee.
It can be considered among those first attempts in the 60s to promote a tourist resort through cinematographic art.

Considered at the time scandalous more because of the plot that legendary spicy scenes, the film "The Vedovella" was filmed in the Historical Center of Maratea and partly in Praja a Mare.
For some outdoor shootings, some local young people were also hired as extras.

La Vedovella - plot

Susy, a call girl from Milan, unexpectedly receives a castle from an old client, the Barone Colletta di Sant'Omero. Recognized on the spot in grams, is mistaken for the widow of the late gentleman and is immediately circulated by the mayor, members of the municipal council and other people all tending to take possession of the decadent property with little money, whose future is guaranteed by the industrial expansion of the Calabrian village.
Susy realizes the situation and shrewdly takes advantage of it, not disdaining to commit her graces unreasonably. In fact, he succeeds in obtaining the unanimous vote of the city council against the expropriation of his land, and, cried all the interested suitors, dedicates his affection to Corrado, a technician of some important factories in the area.
