    • Trivia
      The third episode in the series includes a deliberate historical inaccuracy. It is stated that Gabriele D'Annunzio was killed by two lovers of his, who pushed him down a third-floor balcony. D'Annunzio actually died of intracerebral hemorrhage; however, the incident actually happened, but instead of killing the writer, it resulted in a long agony which he recovered from after several days.
