Diana di San Marino

Foreign spies steal the formula for a revolutionary explosive created by an Italian scientist and to decrypt the secret code they kidnap his secretary who knows about it.

Based on the short story by Nikolai Gogol written in 1842. A lowly office worker's new overcoat transforms his bleak and invisible existence. Unfortunately, this new lease of life is short-lived.

Annna, a rich lady, decides to finance in great secrecy a singular enterprise: the founding of a real center for the creation of ideas, directed by Mario Morelli, a poet and songwriter perpetually waiting for great success, and a painter, Enrico Bovio, who cannot find the inspiration or the model for a portrait of a woman he wants to finish. Both are short of money and, convinced of the brilliance of their ideas, wish to open that bizarre business, called precisely the "Bazaar of Ideas".
