> to be honest i thought the theme was “italians are intrinsically evil regardless of if they are italian by birth or circumstance”

Alternatively it can also be “an unstable and corrupt government can ruin some innocent citizens’ lives”

Also “french people are overly dramatic all the time for no reason”

(Honestly it feels like the french characters and Italian/”italian” characters are having some sort of unspoken competition on who could be more dramatic)
