Totò Sapore e la magica storia della pizza is a 2003 Italian animated film, with some dialogues made in, directed by Maurizio Forestieri and distributed by Medusa Film and Lanterna Magica. The film is loosely based on the novel Il Cuoco prigioniero by.

The film is based on 18th-century Naples, where Salvatore "Totò" Sapore, an unemployed minstrel, always manages to cheer up the hungry with his songs about good food. He seems to be the one reason for the typically happy and euphoric Neapolitan temperament, which upsets Vesuvia, a magma witch who lives inside the Vesuvius. The evil witch decides to provide the poor minstrel with everything he wants and suddenly takes it away from him, thus extinguishing the very last sparkle of joy in the city.
