The Profession of Arms

In the fall of 1526, Emperor Charles V sends Georg von Frundsberg to lead his German landsknechts on a march toward Rome. Giovanni de'Medici leads the weaker papal armies as they try to chase them away during a harsh winter. Still, the Lords of the Imperial armies make sure that they can cross the rivers on their way and get cannons. During a fight, a falconet shot hurts Giovanni de'Medici in the leg. He dies despite everyone's best efforts to help him. Rome is attacked by armies from the Empire. The movie is set in a beautiful but unassuming place, and it shows how hard and pointless war is.
