"Signore Bramante! Signore! Lui e pazzo! Nononono, not him, him! The one with the sawdust on his hands! That was a priceless 15th-century conference table, used to sign Medici contracts with the Duke of Parma! Handsawn from rare Tuscan oak! We were going to move it to the exhibition hall next weekend! Ehhh, Madonn'!"
