Francesco De Vito: Niccolo da Correggio

Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  Cesare Borgia : I am at a loss. You defeated your enemies and come back from the dead to throw yourself in the pit of hell?

  Niccolo da Correggio : Perhaps hell is where I belong.

  Cesare Borgia : Oh, so suddenly you not only believe the word of Della Rovere, but in divine retribution as well?

  Niccolo da Correggio : No. What would my relationship with Rodrigo Borgia be? I was desperate for his love and indifferent to it. But he has always been there - a roman doric column holding me up. Now he's gone and I find that I must fill his absence, or collapse under life's weight.

  Cesare Borgia : But to choose Della Rovere...

  Niccolo da Correggio : No Spaniard could win. No Frenchman, only an Italian. I could not choose a weak man, even though logic told me to do so. Della Rovere thinks that he is craftier than I am, and in that struggle I will strengthen. I will triumph and claim my proper place in history.
