Plot summary

In Naples, Professor Bellavista is a retired man, passionate about the philosophy and thought of Ancient Greece. He helds every day, in his luxurious apartment, 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 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.
