Apparently, the two characters, known far beyond Italy's borders and created by the writer Giovanni Guareschi (1908 to 1968), are having a brief conversation. After one of their – once again public and heated – verbal confrontations, the author of the still popular short stories has the priest address his eternal adversary with these beautiful words:
"God be with you and enlighten you, Comrade Mayor, so that one day, after our earthly journey has ended, we may find each other side by side at the beginning of that road that leads to eternity."
