In Venice it is harder to find restaurants of that quality at a reasonable price than in other parts of Italy.

The closer the restaurants are to popular attractions, the more expensive they are. This is a common law all over the world. Locals in Venice basically cook and eat at home.

If you really want to have dinner outside, you will also go near the Jewish ghetto, or near the St. Barnabas Church in Dorsoduro. The price is generally around 20 to 30 Euros. You can find them on the street after 8:30 in the evening. To eat is basically to be prepared to be slaughtered.

The main island has a large flow of people, and the business is relatively easy to do. Islands like Burano Island, which are far away from the main island, are basically only visited by photographers. The cost of meals is more expensive than the main island. After all, it is hard to catch a fish. , how can there be any reason to let it go?

Give to God what is God's, and what is to Caesar to Caesar, the Republic of Venice is a city-state where art and trade are higher than faith. The brilliance of the Renaissance is to look at the world from the perspective of imperfect and impure people, instead of looking down on the world from the commanding heights of morality like God.

Venetians usually do business, go to theaters, go to church on Sundays, and rest when it’s time for rest. They don’t work hard to earn money. They will use cunning wisdom to make the most money in the shortest time, will not use small profits to attract customers, and be flexible if they don't want to be slaughtered.

The hillbilly knights of the Fourth Crusade just didn't know the price, and they were cheated by the Venetians with a sky-high budget. In the end, they were used as gunmen to rob Constantinople because of their debts.

If they read more books, they should know that Roman law stipulates that when the debtor is unable to repay the debt, the creditor has the right to sell the debtor as a slave. Do Venetian merchants dare to sell the crusaders who fought for God as slaves? To whom did they sell these slaves?

According to the Justinian Code, creditors are not allowed to collect debts before the debts are due. The time for repaying debts can be negotiated. The Germans are still paying war reparations during World War I and World War II.

The Earl of Champagne can negotiate a time and interest with Dandolo. Anyway, it is the Holy See who pays back the money. Because Venice lost the Eastern trade in the Crusades, it needs to rely on the release of national debt to restore the sluggish economy. There are always people in the Republic who cannot stand the temptation of high interest and choose Those who postponed the repayment of the money did not go so far as to rob Constantinople, the bridgehead against Eastern invaders.

Otherwise, as Severus said, Judas who directly identified the Venetian as the seller, removed the bones of the saint from St. Mark's Church, and then shared the precious spoils displayed in it, and everyone will get rich as well.

The Venetians are different from people in other places in Italy. They are 120,000 times cunning. They let the crusaders attack Constantinople, hired pirates to deal with pirates, and hid behind the scenes as masterminds.

In the Middle Ages, Venetian merchants could be said to be the most profitable among profiteers, and even the Jews had to bow down.

In 1308, Venice sent 6,000 mercenaries to participate in the war in Ferrara, and did not hesitate to offend the Pope. The pope had to resort to the ultimate means of the church - excommunication, but the Venetians still would rather go to hell and take the land of Ferrara. In the end, the pope called on all Europe to form a coalition force, and defeated the defenders of Venice by force.

In 1343, Venice hired more than 27,000 mercenaries and went to war with Hungary to compete for the cities of Hungary. This is tantamount to hiring mercenaries equivalent to all young and middle-aged men. However, there are not many Venetian men who fight. Who was the Governor of Venice at that time? Andrea Dandolo, another profiteer of the Dandolo family.

A person who eats and is slaughtered proves that he is a sheep. The price of freedom is vigilance. The Venetian character is really bad, but it is over before they talk about human nature in Florence. If the Republic of Venice is not for Napoleon, they will continue exist.

People in other places will sit in bars for a while. Venetians basically drink while standing, and leave after drinking, and don’t stay too long.

When the plague broke out, the villages that sacrificed themselves like the town of the sages, so that the entire northern England would not be caught in the plague, were a minority in the entire history of human civilization. They could not use the standards of saints to ask everyone. Whenever a catastrophe occurs, refugees It will always appear that vicious infectious diseases are more difficult to control than wars, earthquakes, and famines.

Soldiers with weapons can run away when they see it from a distance. As for the invisible devil, there is no way to escape at all. Only when it is fulfilled in the body can they know that they have been tricked.

Torcello Island was once prosperous, and you can see that there are many houses on the island, but most of them are empty now.

Bright colors are the hallmark of the Venetian school of painting, but this is not the case on the island of Torcello. If the main island is a beautifully dressed prostitute, this place looks like the monotonous countryside that she was eager to leave when she was a girl.

A loving woman can not only make a man fall in love and have sex, but also make a knight disarm and return to the field, turning a sword into a plow.

It is very suitable for those who have experienced the stormy life to find peace.

Like the song Alessandro sings, he sees a woman and thinks of a yard with a well, and a few kids running around laughing and screaming, and the island is perfect for that style of home.

It's a pity that this island is not suitable for growing wheat, so I can't experience the feeling of the wheat awns passing through the palm, but there are wine estates on the island, there is also a Michelin restaurant, and there are more than a dozen families, and there are no restaurants to provide food for tourists. .

They stick to something, something that outsiders don't understand and don't have time to think about.

The Talmud said: Men earn money, but women have the power to spend. There are more opportunities for women to pay than men.

It is not easy to be a housewife who is not dazzled by a life of luxury and pleasure and keeps a clear head, and it is not easy to distinguish right from wrong when others say what they say.

When Justinian was about to run, Theodora stopped him.

When Louis XVI planned to leave Paris, Mary did not prevent him from staying and completing the constitutional monarchy.

The king of the Nicaea Empire, another son-in-law of Emperor Alexios III, Theodore of the Lascaris family, was elected emperor by the people in the Hagia Sophia when the city was broken, and then hurriedly passed by sea Withdrew from Constantinople, while his people were howling under the crusaders' iron hooves.

Others can flee, but the emperor must stay.

Being an emperor's woman does not mean that she can buy whatever she wants with the money in the treasury.

Venice also has a shipyard, not the kind that manufactures gondolas, but an arsenal that manufactures warships. That place gave Venice the hegemony across the Mediterranean Sea.

In Dante's Inferno, he wrote:

Just like in winter, in the Venetian arsenal, people are melting and boiling the sticky bitumen, some are building new ships, others are building oars, and the thick bitumen boils down, sticking every part of the embankment.

When craftsmen in most parts of Europe were still working in small handicraft workshops, the Venetian Arsenal had already gathered a labor force of more than a thousand people and realized division of labor and cooperation, just like the Qin Dynasty's military industry.

The arsenal began to expand in the late 13th century as the picture of Venice's maritime commercial empire became clear after it seized vast wealth from Constantinople during the Fourth Crusade.

Napoleon also conscripted the Venetian Navy after entering Venice.

Who dares to fight a neutral country like him.

In 1492, Columbus discovered the New World. After returning from the sea, he became a hero in the eyes of the Spanish people, but he was also envied by some people. He was ridiculed at a banquet. Columbus asked who could stand the egg upright, but no one could do it. Columbus tapped one end of the egg on the table, breaking a little shell, and the egg stood firmly on the table. on.

Perhaps Venice is not a leaky ship, but an egg with a bit of a broken shell. Can a chick hatch from a broken egg?

It's too boring here, let's go clubbing at night. Monica said, holding Pomona's arm, but only young people can go in there.

How old do you think I am?

Monica looked back at Alessandro and Severus who were following them with serious expressions, Your husband doesn't look young.

Hahaha. Pomona smiled dryly.

You take me to the party, and I'll take you to the party, but I heard there are vampires in the bar.

This is your purpose, right? Let me help you confirm that the legend is true?

Is there really a devil in that Devil's Bridge? Monica asked.

The smile disappeared from Pomona's face.

really have?

I don't know, said Pomona, why its contract is to hand him a newly dead child every seven years.

A human being can live up to 100 years, and the girl is at least 20 years old, and she is only 10 children if she lives to 90 years old.

Maybe she made a deal with the devil and she got eternal life. Monica babbled, and then startled herself. Oh, Mamma Mia, this is really scary.

Bah! Pomona spat like a country girl.

Unlucky, really unlucky!
