Reception

Comparing the film with the 1935 version of the adaptation of the play (Lorenzino de' Medici (film), Panorama wrote: "It would be necessary to be able to see the two films side by side also because in the initial phase of his career Albertazzi willingly presented himself as the heir and continuator of Moissi".
