Why does Franco Nero appear in the film, and what is the significance of his dialogue with Jamie Foxx? 

Franco Nero, making his cameo in the film, is seen wearing white gloves. This may be a reference to his wounds in the original Django film. However, this should not be seen as him being the same character in both movies, as Django (1966) takes place in the 1870s and Django Unchained (2012) takes place before that, in the 1850s.
Franco Nero has a cameo as the owner of the slave that fights against a slave owned by the character played by DiCaprio (the screenplay gives his character the name Amerigo Vassepi). After being asked to spell his name, Django explains, "The 'D' is silent". Nero replies, "I know".
