Michele is learning how to use his sword like a true knight when he is challenged by a fellow knight. Things don't end well and Michele is once again facing arrest.

Michele has been abandoned at the bottom of the shaft, along with lots of rats. Will anyone save him?

Michele arrives in Messina. Filide pays a visit to a Cardinal she knows, to try to negotiate a pardon for Michele.

Michele is still in Sicily and is feeling justifiably paranoid. A painting he had done in secret is on display in a small church. But there are some criticisms and he doesn't react passively.

The ship arrives at the mainland and Cardinal Gonzaga instructs his men to escort Michele to land in a dinghy. The Cardinal will follow with the travel documents and paintings. Michele is a bit suspicious, but has no choice.

Michele receives some apologies and some help to search for the boat with his canvases. The Marquise is trying to reach him.

Caravaggio is in a bad way, and the fishermen agree on how to handle him. The Marquise is desperately trying to reach Porto Ercole to meet him.

How Human He Is! is a 2024 biographical film directed by Luca Manfredi, dedicated to the life and career of Paolo Villaggio, portrayed by Genoese actor Enzo Paci. The film chronicles Villaggio's formative years, from his life as an employee in Genoa to his success with the character of Fantozzi, exploring his struggles and the key moments that led him to fame.

Paolo Villaggio's father thinks his son is a slacker so he writes a song about it with his friend. Studying law is not Paolo's favorite activity, so much so that he falls asleep during class.

Paolo amuses everyone with his obituaries, except for Maura whom he would like to make laugh instead. When he goes home for dinner, his parents scold him for how he's behaving at the university.

At the end of the party, the girls award the prize for the most handsome boy at the party but also for the ugliest one, which is won by Paolo. Despite this, Maura wants to clarify that the vote was not unanimous.

Maura seems eager to help Paolo overcome his problems with girls, but he is a tough nut to crack. At home, he dresses up in his father's hat and coat and goes out (over the objections of his mother who is tutoring a child in German).

Paolo starts studying but keeps thinking about Maura. When his brother comes in, he confesses to having fallen in love and wants to surprise the girl by taking her for a drive.
