| | Here is the quote from the movie The Third Man:
"In Italy for thirty years under the Borgias they had warfare, terror, murder, bloodshed - but they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci, and the Renaissance. In Switzerland they had brotherly love, 500 years of democracy and peace, and what did that produce? The cuckoo clock. So long, Holly."
Also, from Wikipedia:
This quote was not originally in the screenplay by Graham Greene but put in the film by Orson Welles who copied it from the Italian dictator Bentio Mussolini.
Finally, the cuckoo clock originated in southwestern Germany.

In centuries of brotherly love, democracy and peace, the Swiss produced only the cuckoo clock.
