Il santo patrono (1972)

When the Church decides that St Satiro Vedovo, the patron saint of the little village Fonteparadiso, never existed and St Silvester takes his place, its inhabitants rise up against the fact. The new Vicar Don Arcadio can't find a single person to go to the village church, from the mayor down. But when Brambilla, a gangster from Milan, tries to steal the statue of St Satiro because of its value, and a group of village boys and girls save it with the help of Don Arcadio, Fonteparadiso again finds peace.
