You're right.

I do not share your opinion.

The only thing you notice is

a woman who rests her head

on the shoulder

of that... monster.

Honestly, you embarrass me.

I embarrass you?

But that is because it protects

reached eternity.

I know what I mean, who are

you to say.

Do you not know the answer?

I will not answer, it's stupid.

Then, your book is stupid.

I thought you were not interested in the

work itself, but the look.

The look, the one on her.

I thought...

your approach was...

subjective, personal,

creative, inventive, I know.

What counts? The technique?

The reputation of the artist?

The eye does not count? Answer!

Answer me this!

No, I don't want to.

What you say makes

me hate everything

art,

the original copies, this statue

you, all!

I know you hate me and I...

We can not do anything with it.

At least try, try to

be more consistent.

In what sense?

I want us to quote parts

of your book?

It's my right as a reader

to ask you this!

We're going to see the sculpture,

and then speak of its value.

- No.

- Let's see it up close...

No, I have nothing to say

about its value...

It is you who see it

as a masterpiece.

Yes! And I want to show you exactly why.

Come, let's see.

We're going to ask those people.

Next, let's ask.

The only thing you need

to do is wait.

Can you hear me? Wait... it's not a

decision you can make by yourself.

No, no way!

First of all, you do not have the right...

I do not have the right!

Listen, take your time and wait.

And do me a favor and

do not contradict me.

You know that we talk

about it together...

And you also know it was wrong.

You're wrong! Ready?

I do not hear you anymore...

Wait, I'm moving...

can not hear you.

Hello? Yes, there we are.

- Just tell her to call from the hotel.

- Yes, I will call you back.

All right?

Yes, a kiss for Anna...

Excuse me, may I ask an opinion?

I am with my husband, an expert on

the concept of cultural heritage,

and we were talking about the sculpture

and I'd like to know what you...

Would you mind repeating it to my husband?

We were just talking about...

Your husband?

No, no, it's a pleasure.

- James Miller.

- Good morning. Pleasure.

- Meet my wife.

- I want your opinion.

Please my dear.

As I said, he is an expert on the

concept of cultural heritage.

What interests him is the psychological

impact of the work on the public.

- If you repeat your opinion...

- it's not the first time we have come.

- The fourth, I think...

- The fifth.

We are here essentially to admire

the works of art.

Why, we all know, Italy

is an open-air museum.

You know that one quarter of the heritage

world heritage... I say...
