Production
The film was produced by Cinematografica Vascello.[1][2] It is the second decameronico film based on the works by Pietro Aretino, following by two weeks the release of the less successful Le notti peccaminose di Pietro l'Aretino by Silvio Amadio.[3] It was shot in Arpino and in other locations in the Frosinone province.[1] It was filmed back-to-back with its immediate sequel, Aretino's Blue Stories, directed by Enrico Bomba and featuring most of the same cast.[1][3]
Release
The film was distributed in Italian cinemas by Peg starting from 19 August 1972.[1][3]
Reception
Italian film critic Manlio Gomarasca panned the film, noting: "it lacks brilliant writing in its triviality,[...] it lacks the substance of a genuine Atellan Farce".[3]
