Quotes 

• Corrado : You say, "How beautiful," about everything: the sea, a child, a cat. Your sensitive little heart races at nothing.

  Giulia : If something is beautiful, why shouldn't I say so?

• Giulia : [admiring Goffredo's paintings]  Claudia, come see. A nude.

  Claudia : They're all nudes, if I'm not mistaken.

  Giulia : You're good. But why only women?

  Il principe Goffredo : No landscape is as lovely as a woman.

• Giulia : The weather's changing.

  Corrado : Please, Giulia. There's no need to be so didactic all the time. I can see for myself that the weather is changing.

• Giulia : Once the Aeolian islands were all volcanoes.

  Corrado : When we came here together 12 years ago, you said the exact same thing.

• Giulia : [to Claudia]  Goffredo is the princess's grandson. He's 17, lucky him. Just imagine, he paints.

  Il principe Goffredo : Anyone can hold a brush. You just buy the paint and start. Even Titian started that way.

• Il principe Goffredo : It's strange how women enjoy showing themselves. It almost seems like part of their nature.

  Giulia : [laughs, looks at a nude portrait]  How can they pose that way? I couldn't.

  Il principe Goffredo : Why don't you try?

• Giulia : Anna!
