'The Birds, the Bees and the Italians' is a 1966 Italian film directed by Pietro Germi. Its original Italian title is 'Signore & Signori', which means 'Ladies and Gentlemen'.

The anthology film is a sex comedy that presents three storylines, all set in the Italian town of Treviso. In the first story, a husband pretends to be impotent as a cover for having an affair. In the second, a bank clerk abandons his wife for his mistress, but the rest of the town's husbands become jealous and unite to conspire against them. In the third, men of the town all seduce a promiscuous teenager, but her father eventually reveals that she is underage, and they face prosecution for statutory rape.

The film shared the Grand Prix with 'A Man and a Woman' at the 1966 Cannes Film Festival. It was later selected for screening as part of the Cannes Classics section at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival.
