Any Italian speakers?

I'm wondering whether Walken's very few Italian lines in the film are accurate. Is his accent any good, etc.?
Please reply!

Walken is ridiculous, as usual. I think it was Leoanrd Maltin who described Walken's attempt as an "all-purpose Bavarian accent."

I am Italian too and I agree, Chris Walken's few lines are pretty good and it's not easy for an American.He's great as usual, love him:-)
