Operazione San Pietro, internationally released as Operation St. Peter's, is a 1967 Italian comedy film directed by Lucio Fulci. The film is a sort of unofficial sequel to Treasure of San Gennaro , a successful heist-comedy film that Dino Risi had filmed the previous year.[3][4]

The film was co-produced by France, where it was released as Au diable les anges ('To Hell With the Angels'), and West Germany, where it was released as Die Abenteuer des Kardinal Braun ('The Adventure of Cardinal Brown').[5][2]
