Revealing mistake: During the credits, Don Falcone is reading about the bloody feud between fellow cheesemaking mafia families Lombardi and Zanetti. The first article he browses is the April 7, 1985 edition of the Italian newspaper "Il Messaggero," with a bad glue-on job (the left column's font does not match the rest of the actual newspaper). He then reads about the car bombs in another newspaper, "Paese Sera." Here the prop design is better, but if you can read Italian, you can easily see that the article does not match its headline at all; it's not about a brutal mafia murder, but rather about the "sliding wage scale" referendum which was taking place in the country at the time the movie was shot, in 1985.
