- He's written from America.
- What's he say?
They eat everything
out of cans over there.
The first image of Rome
was a centuries-old stone...
rising out of the fields
just outside my hometown.
Later on, at school, we were told
other interesting things about Rome.
This is the Rubicon...
the river Julius Caesar crossed,
saying, "Alea iacta est!"
- Take off your shoes, children.
- Take off your shoes...
and we'll cross
the river together.
Alea iacta est!
- To Rome.
- To Rome!
"Now we've got another meanie
by the name of Mussolini.
Julius Caesar took a chance
and led his army into France.
In those days the French were Gauls
and Caesar a man with balls. "
Bring me then Metellus Cimbers's
petition and I shall examine it.
And now, hands,
speak for me.
You too, Brutus.
My son.
Julius Caesar.
Sir, if I may say so,
last night you had us all in tears.
It was a real
artistic performance.
Eternal gratitude
to our humble webfooted friends.
To our humble webfooted friends
with their excited quacking.
It is always that one, sir.
Always the same one.
Woke the soldiers who picked up
their weapons and saved Rome.
And you can hear their descendants
quacking right outside the window.
Careful, now. Careful.
Return to your seats.
I won't tolerate any disorder.
Stop it.
You are not out in the streets now.
You're in school!
Barbetti! Stacchiotti! Barilazzi!
I'll beat you to death, by God!
In "saecula saeculorum," amen.
On your feet.
Rings.
Napkins.
Dismissed.
Silence. Order.
Order and silence.
The bronze she-wolf
at the Capitol.
Santa Maria Maggiore,
one of the four Roman basilicas.
The tomb of Cecilia Metella
on the Appia Antica.
The Arch of Constantine.
The altar of the fatherland.
St. Peter's,
Holy Mother Church's greatest temple.
Turn it off!
Turn on the lights, somebody!
The lights!
Don't look, children.
Close your eyes. It's the devil.
Whoever looks will go to hell.
Keep your eyes closed.
- It's the devil! The devil!
- Good Lord! On your feet!
But church bells
are the voice of God.
We should turn
on the radio, signora.
- There's a blessing from the Pope.
-Just bring the soup here, you idiot!
- Stay where you are!
- But, Severino, it's a papal blessing.
So put it on the salad!
- Shame on you. You'll go to hell.
- Stay where you are.
On your knees. Don't pay attention
to your good-for-nothing father.
Drop dead, you old bat!
For heaven's sake, folks, there's
no need to push. We've got enough seats.
Three adults, two children
and one maid. What?
Full price for a maid?
Well, I'll be damned.
Shut up!
Adele, keep an eye on that kid.
Carmela, the baby!
Hang on to my coat and follow me.
Excuse me. Pardon me.
Besides, there's three shows today.
Come back later.
May the gods smile upon you,
Pompeo.
I have come
to bid you farewell.
With what adventures,
Priscilla the Christian?
I have a generous nature.
But vengeance is a temptress.
- Be on your guard, both of you.
-And yet, I love her.
No, no, have mercy!
I beg you, mercy!
Let me go!
There are some seats. Hurry! Adele!
Leonina! You sit over there.
- My wife's purse was on that seat.
- Purses don't count.
Carmela, the baby!
Sir, you are an ill-mannered boor,
that's what you are.
And you don't seem to realize who I am.
I'm the school principal, that's who.
The principal, understand?
Rome.:
the parade of October 28
was in an atmosphere of enthusiasm.
The entire city was there to greet
our leader and proclaim its faith...
in the glorious and indomitable
destiny of the imperial fatherland.
