Ho visto un re by Giorgia Farina, with Sara Serraiocco, Edoardo Pesce, Marco Fiore, is set in 1936. While Italy celebrates the victory in Ethiopia, an Ethiopian prince held prisoner in the garden aviary of the villa del Podestà in a small provincial town becomes the hero of a ten-year-old boy who is a passionate reader of Salgari and considers him his Sandokan.
The film was shot mainly in a villa in Pavona (Lazio) whose appearance has remained in the 1940s with period interior decoration and furnishings, allowing the crew to take a leap back in time on the set of the film. Locations also included: Santa Maria di Galeria (Rome); Casale della Riccia in Anguillara Sabazia; theatre of Castel Madama; in tenuta della Cesarina (Rome); casa di caccia di Ciano in Marcigliana; and piazza Umberto I in Filacciano.

1936, while Italy is celebrating victory in Ethiopia, an unusual event occurs in a small provincial town: an Ethiopian Ras, a prince, has been captured and is being held prisoner in the garden aviary belonging to the podestà (village leader). His mysterious presence ignites the imagination of the citizens, accustomed to a simple life punctuated by political propaganda. Ten-year-old Emilio, a passionate reader of Salgari, son of the ambitious podestà, Marcello, and Regina, an artist with a fragile and restless soul, identifies the man not as an exotic savage to be gawped at with suspicion or curiosity, but as Sandokan, and sees his as his hero.
