Quotes 

• Leopoldo Vannucci : This town is blind to art. It's so hard, being perpetually misunderstood. My friends don't even understand me. They only care about material things. They live their sordid lives, thinking of women and money. I feel so alone. And the winter is awful. It's endless in this town. I'm so full of sadness and anguish. At midnight the town goes dark. How can an artist feed his demons? How can he live in this silence?

• Leopoldo Vannucci : The years go by, then one morning you wake up. Just yesterday you were a boy and now you're no longer young.

• Leopoldo Vannucci : If I went on a honeymoon, I'd go to Africa, like Hemingway. Free, in the wild, in a Jeep.

  Moraldo Rubini : Sounds fabulous.

  Riccardo : Africa would be a real escape. I'd go there with Esther Williams.

  Alberto : What about Franca Marzi?

  Riccardo : Franca Marzi. Ginger Rogers.
