"On the first page where we find the map of France we see a Roman banner with S.P.Q.R. which means "Senatus Populus Que Romanus" (The senate and people of Rome). The Italian translator made a great pun about it and translated it into "Sono Pazzi questi Romani". The latter can be translated to "These Romans are crazy"."
