 Broadmining: Amadeus   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
The wound is self-inflicted, and the man is the little-known composer Salieri (F. Murray Abraham), contemporary and adversary of the now-famed, but once reviled, composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Tom Hulce).
Abraham, in the role that won him the Best Actor Oscar, is the celebrated court composer to Joseph II (Jeffrey Jones)--his confidence and religious dedication shaken when he meets the boorish 26-year-old Mozart as he chases his future wife (Elizabeth Berridge) around a party while making obscene remarks.
It is reputed that there was a real antipathy between Mozart and Salieri, and that Mozart did at one point accuse Salieri of attempting to poison him.

A play and film written in 1979 by Peter Shaffer, Amadeus is loosely based on the life of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Amadeus tells young Mozart's story from the point of view of court composer Antonio Salieri, who is presented as a caricature of jealous mediocrity.

 Italy
It ultimately passed to the Dukes of Savoy, who then styled themselves the kings of Sardinia and became the kings of a united Italy.
This is a little awkward, since Savoy, now as Sardinia, remained a core territory of Francia and, most importantly, would go on to form the nucleus of a new Kingdom of Italy.

 Council of Basel
They declared the pope deposed and, to replace him, elected a layman, Amadeus VII, duke of Savoy; as antipope he took the name Felix V. Thereafter, the prestige of the Basel assembly declined, and it became increasingly involved in the political quarrels of Germany.
So they agreed, subject to the council's consent, to one of the places named below with the condition, which is detailed later, that one or more persons should be sent to the lord emperor, the patriarch and others to persuade them by cogent reasons to agree to the city of Basel.
The nominated places are these: Calabria, Ancona or another maritime territory; Bologna, Milan or another Italian city; and outside Italy, Buda in Hungary, Vienna in Austria or in the last place, Savoy.
