So the Italians went about slaughtering each other while the Swiss lived in peace (and sent out mercenaries to among other places, Italy)
Is the life of even one person worth the greatest work of art? Is the rape, pillage and destruction of the Italian wars sufficient recompense for La Gioconda?
Not for me. See "The Train" (Burt Lancaster) or Bullets over Broadway (The film, not the musical) for some think pieces on that.
Since I have to look at that lie by a sociopath everytime I sign on to your LJ, I thought I might add a belated "NO!"
