We need a safe contact

with the two sides

I expect to come back soon.

Garibaldi is at Desenzano.

Livia! Salvation

is coming

See you Italians!

Roberto!

Take care of yourself

But when I met that

officer...

I realized he was the reasons of my worries

and that, for days, I had been afraid

of that encounter

Countess Serpieri

What do you want?

May I scort you in these streets?

No, thank you, Lieutenant Mahler.

But Venice is in curfew. It's late already.

Are you going to make me arrest

for being in the streets?

I have never made an arrestment

for such a little infraction to the rules

What do you think of Roberto Ussoni's arrest?

Ah! Has he been arrested?

A change of air would have done

him good.

He has been sent to exile.

You know it well

You think it is my fault

But you are wrong

I hope you believe me

Besides, it seems that Ussoni

will be satisfied.

It seems like the man was born

to make sacrifices for any noble cause

And what you were born for?

To be what I am

To be what you are!

Good night.

Don't you think it would be better that.

the other night at the opera, you

had told me

that Ussoni was your lover,

and that you were willing to do

anything to keep him in Venice?

A men with a minimum education

wouldn't take advantage of the fact that

I am alone to insult me.

-I told you not to follow me

-I am not following you.

-Ah, you dont!

-Think of me as your shadow.

Thanks, I can manage with my own.

But mine will protect you better

Please, stop following me.

-Is he dead?

-Yes.

What do we do now?

Come on!

Come on, quick!

Thank you

You know one thing...

it's not nice to be part of ...

an occupation army.

We are forced to live

with men that hate us.

And we, young men, alone, away from home,

start to court their wives

and girlfriends.

Yes, I understand.

Good night, Lieutenant.

I am not afraid anymore.

Please, don't bother.

Good night.

I'd like you to know something,

before I leave:

Roberto Ussoni is not my lover.

He is my cousin.

He is the person I admire

the most in the world

More than

your husband?

See, my husband and I have

very different opnions

about Austrians

He is wiiling to accept them. He

even ask for favours.

I am like my cousin:

a real Italian.

Good night.

Countess Serpieri!

I am very grateful...

We walked a lot...

together...

by the empty streets.

My fear to him had dissappeared.

Time didn't seem to exist

The only thing that existed...

was the unconfessed pleasure...

I felt when he spoke...

when he laughed...

and when I heard the sound of

our steps,

in that silence city.

Where are we going?

Anywhere you want.

The truth is I don't even

know where we are
