Beatrice Cenci is a 1956 French-Italian historical drama film directed by Riccardo Freda and starring Micheline Presle, Gino Cervi and Fausto Tozzi.

In 1598, his son Giacomo, lover of his stepmother Lucrezia, was involved in the investigation into the death of Francesco Cenci, a violent and dissolute patrician.

To defend him, Lucrezia accuses Olimpio Calvetti, Francesco's steward, who had helped Beatrice Cenci.

Under torture, Beatrice also accuses Olimpio, but she is sentenced to death and beheaded in Castel Sant'Angelo.
