* SpinOff: A short, hardcover side story was released in 2013 as a collaboration with a museum exhibit. It covers the 1504 incident when the city of Florence commissioned Leonardo da Vinci to paint a mural of a battle, but since he was taking too long on it, they hired his much younger rival, Michelangelo, to paint a mural of a more popular battle on the facing wall, to spur Leonardo on. In the side story, the two argue, but then Michelangelo sees a drawing of Cesare among Leonardo's papers, and they talk briefly about him, regretting his recent downfall. Cesare, Miguel, and Angelo appear together on the cover, implying that Angelo stayed with Cesare and Miguel for the rest of their lives together, but none of the trio appear in the story itself.
* SleeperHit: There was advertising and hype for the 2020 run, but at the time of the 2023 run, many people were surprised that it ended up being *this* good. Several people on Twitter expressed regret at having already bought tickets for the final performances of different musicals on February 4-5.

The title refers to a collection of poems by Petratch, which Creator/NiccoloMachiavelli quotes in the end of Literature/ThePrince. In that chapter, Machiavelli ascribes motives to Cesare higher than simple greed and personal/family aggrandizement, motives that are rarely depicted in fiction about Cesare other than this manga.

* TheMerch: At performances, in addition to the standard pamphlets and bromides (photos of the characters), there was a set of 10 oval-shaped metal buttons (Cesare, Miguel, and the 8 Squadra members). There was also a black tote bag with a gold design of a throne with two frames on either side -- oval frames perfectly sized to hold those buttons, so you can customize it with your two favorite characters. Of course, fans of the characters (and actors) who didn't get official buttons weren't afraid to make their own and wear them on tote bags when going to the theatre.

* NoExportForYou: As of early 2023, this manga has not gotten an English release, despite multiple award nominations in Japan and France.

However, [[https://youtu.be/XTvayhtWOrU?t=724 according to Nakagawa]], this musical's ambitions are bigger than that, and it could end up being the work to break that barrier.
