Cardinal Lambertini (Italian: Il cardinale Lambertini) is a 1934 Italian historical comedy film directed by Parsifal Bassi and starring Ermete Zacconi, Isa Miranda and Giulietta De Riso.[1] It is based on the 1905 play of the same name by Alfredo Testoni, the title role of which Zacconi had played for many years on stage. The film was remade in 1954 starring Gino Cervi.
It was shot at the Bovisa Studios in Milan. The film's sets were designed by the art director Otha Sforza.
Shortly before he became Pope Benedict XIV, Cardinal Lambertini has to mediate between the Spanish forces occupying Bologna and local nobility who bitterly resent them.
