Trivia
The song played by Don Camillo during Peppone's public speech is "La Leggenda del Piave", an Italian patriotic song composed during World War One; Don Camillo correctly assumes the simple-minded and emotional Peppone will be swayed by it even if it goes against his communist ideals. Ironically, this ends up boosting Peppone's popularity.

Goofs
When the mayor is answering questions to show his intelligence, some subtitles get the formulae for the surface area and volume of a sphere, wrong. In fact the character gets them right.

Quotes
[Don Camillo sees Peppone off at the train station]
Don Camillo: I never forgot that you came to salute me when I was going into exile. Now you're leaving.
Giuseppe 'Peppone' Bottazzi: I'm not going into exile. I'm going because I won, not because I lost.
Don Camillo: You lost your wife who voted against you. You lost your town where you were somebody. You won what? The honour of being another face in the crowd, a ball in the urn.
Giuseppe 'Peppone' Bottazzi: I will always be what I am.
Don Camillo: Oh yeah? Well then, when you sit down in that huge sad hall, as if you were in school, then you'll think about everything you left behind. You'll think of what you used to see out your window in the morning while you were shaving; you'll think of your workshop and how you enjoyed tinkering your Sundays away... You'll even think of me, how I'm not there to give you a wallop when you deserve it - which is roughly once a day!
Giuseppe 'Peppone' Bottazzi: When I come back I'll crush you to a pulp!
Don Camillo: But you know you're not coming back! And I can't even say "Goodbye, Peppone"... only "Adieu, Senator".

Elections in Brescello.

This film is most dedicated to the elections in Brescello where we shall see the rivalry between Don Camillo and Peppone.There are two important moments in this film: Peppone needs to pass an examination and Don Camillo will help him.And second moment: Peppone write a surprising composition about the theme "A man I'll never forget" and so he describes his meeting with Don Camillo during the world war two.The other scenes of this film are less important (usual moves for attacking a political adversary).
