It's a great scene. Truly great scene. But it should be noted that at the time the Borgias ruled in Italy, Switzerland was producing the finest and most fearsome soldiers in all of Europe. In fact, as Pope, Rodrigo Borgia himself was protected by the Papacy's elite bodyguard's "The Swiss Guard".

Oh...well, that reassures me...does it means that though Italy is currently in deep shit we could also do wonderful things? XD

Warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed count as deep shit.
The second-biggest national debt in the world counts as shit, but not deep shit.

I heard that Welles ad libbed this part. It is so perfect. I'm an artist, and I know that pain can cause great artwork. Thanks, Orson.
