** Peppone's youngest being named Libero Antonio Lenin ''Camillo''. That, and how it came up: Peppone initially wanted to name him Libero Antonio Lenin (a very leftist name that gets LostInTranslation: aside from the obvious, Libero ("the free (one)") is the quintessential ''[[UsefulNotes/{{Anarchism}} anarchist]]'' name, and Antonio is in honour of Antonio Gramsci, founder of the Italian Communist Party), after a fistfight with don Camillo he agrees to exchange Lenin for the priest's name, and don Camillo, who had initially refused to baptize the child unless the "Lenin" was dropped, suggests the final name.

!! From ''Don Camillo''
* The final part of don Camillo's EstablishingCharacterMoment. He had been ringing the church's bells to drown out Peppone's speech for the victory in the elections, when the communists abandon the area around the stage he grabs a rifle believing they're about to storm the church (and they were in fact discussing just that right before someone told something to Peppone and they moved out)... Then he learns they had all ditched the victory speech and all that because Peppone's wife had just given birth to their youngest son, and he rings the bells to ''celebrate''.

* At one point there's a strike of agricoltural work. The pickets from the communists stops the strike breakers from working, be it cultivating a field, squeeze the already harvested grapes, or ''feeding and milking the cows and helping one of them give birth''. Upon hearing the last, don Camillo sneaks through the pickets to save the calf and the mother... And Peppone, upon catching him in the act, doesn't stop him, but helps him with the calf. Then, as they're already there, they feed and milk all the cows.

** Then we have the funeral, with Peppone among the pallbearers (wearing a red scarf, of course), the cask having the monarchist flag on it, and the narrator commenting it's: "Things that happen in that country, where the sun strikes like a hammer, where people often talk with their fists, but at least the dead are respected."

* The end of the third movie. Peppone, freshly elected senator, has to step down as a mayor, and is leaving for Rome. Everybody (minus Don Camillo) sees him off at the station with sad faces, and you can tell Peppone misses his native land before he even leaves it. When the train stops at the next station, Don Camillo is on the quay to say goodbye, pointing out that [[CallBack Peppone did the same for him]] when he "went into exile". Then he gives Peppone a sharp YouCantGoHomeAgain speech (at the end of which both men have tears in their eyes), ending with "Goodbye, Peppone. No, adieu, Senator." The train departs, leaving Don Camillo alone on the quay looking angry and sad... And the heartwarming part is when he sees Peppone, with his suitcase, having got off the train at the last moment and ready to go back to their town as its mayor. Then they race their way back to Brescello on bicycles, with the narrator remarking that, when one couldn't catch up, the other would slow down.
* At the end of the following movie Don Camillo, now a bishop in Rome, has to go back there and even asks Peppone to sabotage his secretary's car so that he can stay in Brescello some more time. To his disappointment, the car works next day, but on the way he finds Peppone asking for a ride to the nearest train station, since he's going to Rome too; Peppone tells that he couldn't leave him alone there. Before parting ways Peppone gives a business card with his address in Rome, while Don Camillo in return gives Peppone a small icon of Christ and tells him that, anytime he'll want to be received by him in Rome, he won't even need to set an appointment up.

* Before dying, Cristina, the old town schoolmarm and a royalist, asks Peppone and don Camillo to put the royalist flag on her casket at the funeral. Given the delicate situation, the thing goes to the town council, where the representatives of the parties allied to the communists refuse citing political reasons, to don Camillo (who is there as a witness) increasing anger. Before commenting, don Camillo asks Peppone to say something so he'll have the time to compose himself and not beat them all up, at which point Peppone declares that while as a mayor he has to abide to his allies' will, the communists are in charge in Brescello, that as their leader he ''will'' give Cristina that flag on the casket, and that if someone objects they'll beat'em up. Don Camillo's comment? A smile and a rather happy "I yield to violence".
