Sophia Loren plays the role of Carmela, a beautiful and vivacious young woman who works as a servant at the local mill. Her nickname, "La Bella Mugnaia," translates to "The Beautiful Miller's Wife."

This case of mistaken identity leads to a series of humorous situations and misunderstandings as Carmela is thrust into a world of royalty and luxury.
As Carmela assumes the role of Isabella, she becomes the center of attention and romantic interest for various suitors, including Don Alonso, a wealthy Spanish nobleman played by Marcello Mastroianni, and Don Fabrizio, a local miller portrayed by Vittorio De Sica.

"La Bella Mugnaia" is known for its picturesque and colorful portrayal of the Amalfi coast, which serves as a backdrop to the film's romantic and comedic escapades. The film captures the beauty of the coastal town and the allure of its coastal culture.
While "La Bella Mugnaia" may not be as well-known as some of Sophia Loren's later iconic roles, it remains a pleasant and enjoyable romantic comedy that highlights her early talent and charisma on screen. The film is appreciated for its light-hearted and comedic approach to storytelling.
