Review :

Rarely filmed subject

This film covers the sack of Rome in 1527 by the mercenary armies of Charles V of Spain. Renaissance warfare has rarely been covered in film so, for the military buff, this film is rewarding. As the film opens Rome is being approached by an invading army, but the Orsini and Colonna families fight among themselves (shades of Montagues and Capulets). Also featuring in the story is Benvunuto Cellini, the artist. Murder, intrigue, betrayal and warfare all take the stage along with some well staged battle scenes. The dubbing in the English language print is also quite well done. It's no classic, but is worth seeing for the history buff and fan of costume dramas. There is also some good swordplay present.
