The movie makes extensive reference to two famous Italian artists: several shots of Tara are based on Giorgio De Chirico's paintings, while the opening credits show some paintings of Antonio Ligabue's.

Athos Magnani, father and son: [talking to a horse] Locked you in, too? You knew my father, too? Is it true we're identical?

Athos Magnani, father and son: You will not kill me. Even a dead traitor is damaging. A hero is more useful. A hero, whom people can love. I shall be basely murdered by a Fascist. We'll offer the spectacle of a dramatic death to seize people's imagination so they will continue to hate more and more Fascism.

Draifa: Athos, you're a coward. You're hard on me, Draifa.
