However, while Marcinkus was noted for his muscular physique and
Chicago origins, Gilday is a mild
Irishman. The character has also drawn comparisons to Cardinal
Giuseppe Caprio, as he was in charge of the Vatican finances during the approximate period of which the movie was based.
[11]The character of Frederick Keinszig, the Swiss banker who is murdered and left hanging under a bridge, mirrors the fate (and physical appearance) of
Roberto Calvi, the Italian head of the Banco Ambrosiano who was found hanging under
Blackfriars Bridge in
London in 1982 (it was unclear, although widely accepted that the deaths were performed in the Masonic style, whether it was a case of
suicide or, as the Italian
idiom has it, "being suicided." Courts in Italy have recently ruled the latter.)
[12] The name "Keinszig" is taken from Manuela Kleinszig, the girl friend of Flavio Carbone who was indicted as one of Roberto Calvi's murderers in 2005.
