Chapter 768 Blessed Wedding

After the Rezzonico Palace was converted into a museum, it was difficult to find a portrait of a naked woman like a sleeping Venus.

Even women without clothes are subjects such as the Madonna and Child, and there is absolutely no trace of Titian's Venus of Urbino.

However, according to the publicity materials, the Rezzonico Palace used to be Titian's studio. This may be true or false. What are you doing.

There is a painting in this palace, looking from San Marco to the Foscari Palace, depicting the scenery of Venice hundreds of years ago, it seems that it was painted just yesterday, the city has not changed, the only The only thing that changes is people's clothing.

The biggest difference between the rich and the poor is their clothes. On April 12, 1355, when Giovanni Dandolo stood at the boatswain Izanello, it must have been the same scene. One was well-dressed and the other Ragged.

After the Black Death hit Venice, there was chaos everywhere, and the devil in the bosun's heart was ready to move.

The Querini-Tiepolo rebellion of 1310, which burned the Ritoial bridge, ended quickly because of a woman's flower pot, and did not cause any riots, but this time it was different.

The number of people who died in Venice was not as many as cities in other countries. All the prosperous cities in the past have become empty cities, and there are mountains of dead people everywhere.

Who wants to paddle forever? Who doesn't want to live in the palace like those nobles, wearing beautiful clothes, noble women are different from the femininity of the ordinary class, before he can only think about it in his dreams, now the opportunity is in front of him, plus He also couldn't understand the sailors of the aristocrats. If you say something to me, the more you talk, the more angry they will be, and they will have the audacity to block the naval commander.

The Doge's Palace had enough guards, and the Doge didn't need to go home through Venice's intricate waterways and land routes.

What an "honorable" way to die for the naval commander who was ambushed on his way home instead of dying at the hands of Genoese and heretics.

The enemy within is often more difficult to deal with than the enemy without, because he wears the same clothes as himself.

From the completion of the Rezzonico Palace to the decline of the family, there were no scandals. The couple who lived here were very loyal to each other, unlike other mansions and palaces, where there were more or less shady things.

The balcony facing the river is easy to climb, and the job of butler is much easier than getting a job "outside".

Painters are not always as lucky as Titian, and some are as frustrated as Hitler. The devil actually wanted to be a priest.

When the male host is not at home, going out to earn money or meet a mistress, the "White Widow" is not lonely either.

The man himself saw such a scene after working hard outside, I'm afraid no one can calm down.

In the eyes of the master, the manservant is a loser, and in the eyes of the soldiers, he is also a loser without his own bravery. Marino Farrero is a successful businessman. Manipulate agents everywhere to conduct business. It can be said that Farrero is an outstanding figure in politics and economy.

In the 11th century, his family served as the naval commander of the guards around Constantinople, the governor of Crete, and served as ambassadors several times to the courts of European countries. He was being sent to the Holy See in Avignon to negotiate with the Genoese ambassador when he learned that he had been elected head of state.

He's not a particularly bad Führer, but he's cornered by a love-hungry young man.

When this happened, the only solution was a duel, but the governor was 80 years old at the time, and he was no match for Steno, who was born in the navy.

Sometimes, soldiers just lose their ability to think. Enrico Dandolo induced the Crusaders to point their finger at Constantinople.

Some people think that practicing as a monk can reduce similar disputes. There is an ascetic sect in Christianity, and the Kamini believe that by whipping themselves, pain can reduce impulse. They warmly welcome poor and unstable travelers. The kind of place is similar to today's youth hostels. There are camp beds and very ornate wood paneling in the single room. They serve God with everything. One accidentally walked into their It will be very difficult for the world to break free.

Far from the inland countries and cities in the Mediterranean region, people's thinking has been brainwashed to rigidity by religion and chivalry.

But the Venetian businessman with a flexible mind is not much better. There is a thin line between a genius and a madman. There are many madmen in Venice. There is also a madhouse on the island of Poveglia. It was shot there.

The hospital on the island was built in the 20th century, but there are 50% of the ashes from the burning of human corpses on that land. Bold tourists will go exploring during the day. The locals are so scared that they have built a ghost shelter .

In the 18th century, many people went mad for no reason. The island of San Servolo, where the Venice International University is now located, was also a madhouse. Many noble families sent their tortured relatives to the island. Later, sailors, Austrian and Italian soldiers They also started to go crazy. People don't know why they are crazy. It's understandable that they go crazy due to poverty and malnutrition. Some people go crazy after only minor trauma.

In order to treat these madmen, new madmen appeared, and those "doctors" treated them with cages including handcuffs, ice baths, and electric shock therapy, similar to the situation when people fought the Black Death in the Middle Ages.

The locals don't go to the madman's island at all, only foreign students go there, and they often go to the Lido's bar to party, which is the "hunting ground" for vampire hunting.

Those dark creatures don’t know when they started to be beautified and turned into “nobles” with handsome or beautiful appearance. Muggles hope that they can also become vampires, and they willingly send them to their door. They may still hope for that kind of beautiful monster It's better to have as many as possible, so it's not so troublesome to find.

Impulse is the devil. Sometimes when people get angry, they will do many things that they may regret.

If God wants to destroy a person, he must first make him crazy.

No matter how good a person is, it is difficult to make the right choice when he is impulsive.

At this time, drugs can calm people down.

Compared with the Venetian School of Painting, the Florentine School of Painting controlled by the Medici family did not have so much "stimulation". They paid more attention to sketching and applied anatomy to painting. He died because of the Black Death, but in order to get the exact answer, artists and doctors still dissected them. This habit spread to Venice. In addition to the casino, the Lido also had an anatomy room. Modern forensic medicine first appeared in Italy. Forensic medicine and artists The purpose of dissecting the corpse is different. They study "how this person died".

Palazzo Rezzonico At the center of the rectangular palace is a small courtyard decorated with sculptures and a small fountain, which can be overlooked from the colonnaded balcony on the main floor.

There are bricks everywhere inside, and it looks very incongruous with the magnificent interior. There is absolutely no shortage of sculptors in Venice. It is not difficult to place a little sculpture in the fountain, but people let it be so deserted.

She had a premonition that this small courtyard was the last remnant of Titian's studio, because this architectural pattern was very "Renaissance".

So she took Severus by the hand to the side of the small fountain and stood facing him.

It's been a little sunny today and the hydrangeas that came in from the greenhouse look like a bridal bouquet.

He looked at her expectantly, as if he wanted to see what tricks she played.

She took a deep breath, and said aloud: "O Romeo, by this bright moon, whose light paints the tops of the fruit-trees, I swear—"

"Are you crazy?" he said inexplicably. "You're reading Romeo and Juliet here?"

"Ah, since you don't want me to swear by the moon, because it's fickle and waxes and wanes every month, what do you want me to swear by?"

He looked back around, and there was a pair of old Muggles with all white hair upstairs looking at them and laughing.

"Don't embarrass yourself here!" Severus pulled her to leave.

"You should say, you shouldn't swear, or if you want to swear with your beautiful self, I will definitely believe you." Pomona didn't leave, she said stubbornly, "Although I like you, I don't like you at night." It was too hasty, rash, and unexpected, like lightning, splitting the tower that imprisoned me, and I kept falling, like falling in love, even if it was a sin, I couldn't help it."

"That line sounds illogical," said the Masked Man.

"Maybe it's because love is illogical." She pursed her lips and said, "You're very attractive to girls, Severus, even if you're not very good-looking and have a lot of bad things, but I forgive you .”

"What?" he asked inexplicably.

"I forgive you about the unbreakable vow you made with Narcissa Malfoy," she explained. "That was an impulsive vow you made, right? Because Bella has been provoking you."

He took a step backwards.

"What do you mean?" he asked hesitantly.

"I believe you, even if you didn't say your vows at the wedding," Pomona said. "You didn't think about those things when they were said in public, did you?"

"Do you want me to swear again?"

"I told you just now, you shouldn't swear, or if you want to swear with your beautiful self, I will definitely believe you..."

"Bravo, well done girl!" the old Muggle applauded while clapping his hands, as if they were really in the theater.

"Hahaha, Shakespeare was a man of the Renaissance, and we are now the same as the people in the plays he wrote."

"I hate this show." He growled darkly. "Do you want to torture me again?"

"I did not mean that."

"Together or to die together, like Remus and Tonks, James and Lily, we swore."

"I like the oath, how about we, like them?" said the old Muggle woman.

"What about our wedding vows?" said the old man.

"Do you remember what vows you made at your wedding?" asked the old lady.

The old man was silent.

"Fifty years, how many wedding anniversaries do you remember?"

"Looks like we've started a war," she said, looking upstairs, trying to run like a bad student who's gotten into trouble.

But she didn't make it.

"You should wear a white gauze dress." He took off the mask, revealing his true face, which was as pale as a vampire's face. "This is more like a dream."

"A Midsummer Night's Dream?" She recalled the story in it, which happened to be two men and two women, just like their current combination, "but it's not summer."

"It's still winter." He smiled and said, "Need me to keep you warm?"

"certainly."

So they kissed in the sun, in the somewhat shabby and monotonous courtyard, the background music was the noise of two old Muggle couples.

Retirement life is really boring, but it is even more boring to compete with young people at 80 like Marino, especially when he also found an 18-year-old girl to marry.

How many years does he have left? What would Lucia do when he died?

Being old is more annoying, so this nightmare is entirely his own.
