Don Annibale, an old prince (Eduardo De Filippo) lives in his ancient palace in Rome together with the ghosts of his ancestors, in whose presence he's the only one to believe.
He proudly rejects a huge offer for the palace by a real estate group that wants to replace it with a department store, but he suddenly dies (and joins the ghosts!).
His nephew (Marcello Mastroianni), just back from the States, sells the palace for a much lesser price. The old palace seems lost but here come the ghosts who, joined by another ghost, a quarrelsome painter (V. Gassman), try to save it from destruction.
A little satirical masterpiece about real estate speculation in 1950s Italy. And a great cast with the best Italian actors of the time: Eduardo, Buazzelli, Gassman, Mastroianni and others.
