== Plot ==
1935: a rich nobleman, in order not to compromise the marriage of his daughter to an English nobleman, takes her newborn daughter from her (had from a clandestine affair), entrusting her to nuns with a medal of the Madonna around her neck.

1953: Giorgio with some friends is rehearsing a show of Neapolitan songs financed thanks to an elderly artist. Having quarrelled with his landlady, Giorgio rented a room with a good woman who lives with her beautiful daughter Maria. Love soon arises between the two. When, thanks to a farsighted entrepreneur, things are going for the best, Maria's mother is summoned by the nuns: a woman has finally learned the truth about her daughter who was stolen from her 18 years earlier and entrusted to the nuns: now she claims his own daughter, that is, Maria. The girl moves to her birth mother and, attending parties and attending nobles, she becomes engaged to a young scion but never forgetting her Giorgio with whom she secretly meets. In the meantime, the show of these is a great success, but Giorgio has lost all enthusiasm: Maria is getting married. But right at the altar, under the eyes of the two mothers, Maria finds the courage to say no, and to rejoin Giorgio.<ref>{{Citation |last=Grottini |first=Armando |title=...e Napoli canta! |date=1953-12-28 |url=https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0045715/ |type=Drama, Musical |access-date=2022-05-02}}</ref>
