00:00Più fuma! Basta fuma!
00:08I nostri nemici a Roma sono pericolosi.
00:14I have to ask, I'm sorry,
00:16but how often do you think
00:18about the Roman Empire now?
00:20Always.
00:24Do you live in Rome?
00:25Yes, I'm in Rome right now.
00:27Okay, me too.
00:31I live
00:32in Rome, so like you.
00:33For us, it's living the
00:35dream every day. I was just driving from
00:37the Aventino last night. I had dinner
00:39in Aventino and I drove home
00:41with my husband who's Irish and my son
00:43and I'm
00:45always amazed by the most
00:47beautiful city for me in the world.
00:49I'm biased, obviously,
00:51but lately I've been thinking
00:53about the Roman Empire every day because we're in the
00:55in the middle of promotion.
00:56But besides that, I chose to live in Rome.
00:59So that talks, the facts
01:00talks more than my words.
01:02I live in the love letter to Rome.
01:04I think, obviously, prior to the show,
01:08I think I probably
01:09thought about Rome
01:11fairly often.
01:12I mean, I had a friend that was obsessed
01:14with the history of Rome and he kept trying to get me
01:16to listen to these podcasts.
01:18So he was definitely one of those people that the meme
01:20applied to
01:22because he would talk about ancient Rome a lot.
01:26But yeah, obviously, more recently
01:29pretty much every week
01:31I've thought about it at least.
01:32It's interesting how
01:34in the TV show we see that
01:36people
01:38want to be entertained.
01:41Politicians are corrupted,
01:43but they don't care.
01:43They just want to see the games.
01:46And it's like today.
01:47So in your opinion,
01:50entertainment could be dangerous
01:52because it distracts us from the important stuff.
01:55Absolutely.
01:56I mean, that's exactly
01:59spot on what the game were
02:00and why the game existed.
02:02Because by entertaining the mob,
02:05the politician could do other things
02:07so they were completely distracted.
02:08And you're totally right.
02:09It's exactly what happened these days.
02:11This is how modern the Roman were.
02:14And it's not that different from today.
02:16Like if you see a Super Bowl
02:17or like we're watching now the European soccer.
02:19I was at Wimbledon two days ago.
02:21So if you can see,
02:23there's not that much difference
02:24of what the sports was back then.
02:27And what's today.
02:28And also, obviously,
02:29it's an amazing entertaining
02:30also for healthy stuff.
02:32Like we love to see sports
02:33because it's a paradigm of glory
02:35and, you know,
02:37trying to go behind
02:38your capacity and win.
02:40So that's an ancestral kind of emotion
02:44that humans have,
02:45which is to win and go,
02:46you know, keep moving forward.
02:47But also it's handy
02:49when you need to distract people
02:50from other biggest issues
02:51that are going on in the world.
02:53Yeah.
02:53So it's exactly like this.
02:55In this TV show,
02:56do you believe that fists are stronger
02:58than the world or not?
03:00Gosh, that's tough.
03:01I mean,
03:03I guess,
03:03I guess in more sort of brutal ancient times,
03:06you know,
03:07it certainly was the fist, I guess,
03:11you know,
03:11by that we mean sort of physical wars.
03:15and then I think today maybe it's slightly different
03:18with the inception of the internet
03:19where communication and information
03:23is sort of how the modern wars are for.
03:28it's for people's attention and people's sort of ideology.
03:32So I guess,
03:33I guess it depends on the times that you live in,
03:35the sort of power that each one of those holds.
03:38And yeah,
03:39it's an interesting question.
03:40I think for,
03:41for Antonia,
03:43for my role,
03:43the words are way more dangerous.
03:46And I think that's also like a women and men's power,
03:49you know,
03:50men are more physical and women are more kind of,
03:54you know,
03:55cerebral in a way.
03:56So I think back then as well,
03:58you see different aspects like the,
04:00how women acted back then and today,
04:05and how men were more kind of a fighting thing.
04:08So, you know,
04:09it's,
04:09we're not that different.
04:11Yeah.
04:11Since you shot in Cinecittà ,
04:14Gabriella,
04:15I know that she knows Italian,
04:16but do you know some Italian words?
04:18Did you learn some Italian words in Italy?
04:20Oh God,
04:21embarrassingly little.
04:23I mean,
04:24I've forgotten everything.
04:26Do you know,
04:26it's really hard because my excuses are coming out.
04:29I've,
04:29I always work abroad.
04:31Like I've worked in France for a while.
04:33I've worked in Malta,
04:33I've worked in Italy.
04:34And so you sort of accumulate things while you're there.
04:38And then when you leave,
04:39it just sort of evaporates.
04:41I mean,
04:44Just one word.
04:47What smoke in Italian, Roland?
04:49Do you remember?
04:51Basta fume.
04:52Basta fume.
04:53Basta fume.
04:54Basta fume.
04:55That's thrilled into my head.
04:57Yeah,
04:57because in the,
04:58in the show,
04:59we have a lot of fake smoke,
05:00you know,
05:00that comes from Dai Braccieri.
05:02So Roland was always concerned about,
05:04there was too much smoke or less smoke.
05:06The big,
05:07I think the word that was most common on set was,
05:10Più fume.
05:12Basta fume.
05:13That's the word.
05:14I still hear it in my dreams,
05:16as Roland shouting.
05:17That's a great joke.
05:18Yeah.
05:18I.
05:20Well,
05:23I have a lot more.
