Così parlò Bellavista is a 1984 Italian comedy film based on the novel of the same name by Luciano De Crescenzo.

[1] In Naples, Professor Bellavista is a retired man, passionate about the philosophy and thought of Ancient Greece.

Every day, in his luxurious apartment, he teaches his lessons of life to the poor-nothing (his friends), who are dazzled by his reasoning.

One day, however, the quiet life of the building of Bellavista will be disturbed by the arrival of a director of Milan.

Between Naples and Milan there is a sharp contrast, because the Neapolitans are accustomed to enjoy a quiet life, always based on the "philosophy of pleasure and delay", while the northern Italians are very strict and punctual.
