This is probably one of Flavio's best episodes of "Don Matteo" right next to the wedding episode. In this episode, an eight-year-old orphan, Camilla, decides to befriend Capt. Anachesi (of course, very well played out by the sexy Flavio Insinna!) by visiting him at the police station to give him something he had left at a bar. At first, it looks like she's kind of like a mini-me of Lolita, but then as the episode progresses, we see that she really would love to have a father-figure in her life. So, she follows Flavio home to his apartment. Of course, he's surprised to see her, but agrees to let her in his home. When she sees his piano, she's fascinated, and asks him to play a certain song. By the way, that IS Flavio REALLY playing the piano in this episode. Not only is he a talented actor but a budding musician as well. So, she tells her headmaster and her classmates that she's not really an orphan, and that Capt. Anachesi's her long-lost father. When Flavio talks to the headmaster, he's shocked to hear that Camilla told him that he's her father. Later, when Camilla comes over to Flavio's place, she asks him to accompany her on piano at her school recital. When Flavio confronts her about her lies, she runs off crying. Feeling guilty for yelling at her, Flavio visits Don Matteo for advice. Don Matteo told him to be proud that she chose him to be a father to her. Feeling overwhelmed with guilt and pity for Camilla, Flavio decides to walk in the school auditorium just as Camilla's about to perform. He announces that she's not his daughter, but he would be proud to have a daughter like her. The little girl who played Camilla's very adorable.
