Chapter 778 Safe Haven

The bridge connecting Venice to the mainland is called Liberty Bridge, and there is a San Giuliano Island near the head of the bridge.

In the 12th century, a church hospital was built on the island, and in the 13th century, a defense tower was built, with piers and other buildings. The French demolished the old tower in 1805-1814 and built a fortress.

Under Austrian rule in 1823 the island had a ship dock, a financial institution, and a police station.

During the revolution of 1848 to 1849, the Venetians rebelled against Austrian rule. After the Austrians withdrew, they blew up the fortress and abandoned it. Now the island is overgrown with weeds and there are no buildings.

St. George's Grass Island has the remains of a monastery built around 1000 AD. It was a prison from 1799 to World War II. It was abandoned after World War II as a quarry.

The French and the Austrians imprisoned "prisoners" who resisted them here, quarried stone for them, and then used the quarried stone to build the buildings of their countries.

Not all buildings were blown up by the Venetians like the buildings on San Giuliano Island, and some remained, which displayed the guns and ammunition used during their rule. Anyway, they were the kind of "You don't obey me, I will hit the "civilized country" that you obey", and 23,000 shells will bombard the Venetians to surrender, which makes no sense at all.

Having lost the competition with Italy, the Austrians decorated the Golden Hall with looted buildings, as if to piss off the Venetians.

The monastery at Certosa was rebuilt for the sailing school, otherwise the monastery would have been left in the summer palace in Berlin.

The taste of revenge is very good, but it will fill one's heart with hatred, and the Venetians are still living their own lives.

Even if the wedding in Ghana is the real thing in the Louvre, do they have the nerve to say how it came about?

Even if the painting of Santa Maria delle Salle is fake, it was also painted by Tintoretto. Now the "enemies" of profiteers in Venice are tourists and giant cruise ships, as well as the kind of tourists who come here for a day without staying overnight. They are the kind of geese passing by Hair-plucking villain, don't go to Venice if you don't want to be plucked.

Francis' monastery is impossible to visit without a private boat, and tours are refused. Similarly, there are many private territories in Venice that are not open to the public.

There are also those tiny islands in the lagoon, just big enough to build a house, and those houses have their own generators, and some even use solar power, which is the latest technology anyway.

But there are also many abandoned ruins, some of these houses are defense towers, and some are the remains of churches.

According to their own imagination, Roman bureaucrats dug a canal and piled up such small islands with the silt from digging the canal, which can not only eliminate the wake of cruise ships but also generate income, and sell it to backfill the funds for building the canal. It is a political achievement when things are done, but a school teacher objected and said no, what a disappointment.

Not all dreams can come true. After the motorboat was parked and docked, Alessandro was chased and beaten by his cousin on the pier. Pomona smiled in relief. This is the curse of disobedient women turning into pillars of salt end.

As for the other two "brothers", they watched Alisandro being beaten and had no intention of helping at all. The so-called brotherhood is so cheap.

"Let's go there for a stroll." Pomona pointed to the legendary Fort St. Andrea, which is the best preserved, and said to the three little ghosts, "We will meet at the pier at six o'clock, and now we are free to move about."

Then she grabbed the old bat and ran away. There was no team spirit at all, and the three little devils were stunned.

From the port to Andre Fort, you have to pass through a small park, which is full of mangroves. Because of the lack of people to take care of it, there is no beautiful garden. It is estimated that few people come to it, and it looks very depressed. It seems that there are snakes in the forest at any time. and animals like saltwater crocodiles appear.

Lagoons are sometimes swamped, or swampy lagoons.

We come from the quagmire, we yearn for power, we are full of ambition, we are strong and calm, we are graceful and self-sufficient, and we never regret it.

Slytherins don't wallow in the mire forever, pigs like it.

The roast suckling pig at noon was very greasy, and it needed lemon and sage to soothe the oil. When the two of them came to a place where no one was around, they began to kiss intimately again. Her dessert was ice cream with crushed Sicilian pistachios, Severus had never been interested in sweets, and there was a bitter taste of tobacco in his mouth.

Except for a little colder, the sea breeze in Venice should be exactly the same as in Sicily.

There is a small-cost movie, when the world is shrouded in the smoke of World War II, Sicily is still a piece of Ning and the 13-year-old boy Reynado fell in love with a local young woman Marina who is much older than him, and her husband On the front line, her beauty aroused the jealousy and rejection of local women.

On that day, Mussolini declared war on Britain and France, and Renaldo got his first bicycle in his life.

With her wavy black hair, Marina wore the most fashionable short skirt and stockings, and high heels full of erotic temptation, she came to the quiet and sunny town of Sicily. Her every move attracts people's attention and draws people's imagination, her every frown and smile makes men fascinated, she is like a goddess, conquering this seaside paradise.

However, the person who protected her left, leaving her alone under the watchful eyes of men, even though the Italian soldiers performed very badly during World War II, which caused the ridicule of men from other countries. Marina's husband, a cowardly Italian soldiers could still protect her.

Renaldo also involuntarily fell into the vortex created by Marlena. Not only did he ride a bicycle with other older teenagers, he shuttled around every corner of the town, searching for Marlena's alluring Fengzi and all kinds of amorous feelings, she also quietly became her unknowing little follower, following the prisoner like a shadow and spying on her life. Her swaying figure, the music she listened to, and her close-fitting clothing all became the most realistic and beautiful erotic fantasies for this young man flooded by hormones.

A woman's beauty seems to be her inherent fault, even if she does nothing, she will still be maliciously slandered if she abides by her duty.

No one protects her, except little Leonardo, but he only has the pure love like an angel, firm like a rock but weak in strength.

He watched her fall into the abyss little by little. In this world, there are few knights who are kind and righteous, but there are many men who take advantage of the fire to rob her. She became a widow, and the women saw her as a threat, but the men saw an opportunity.

They hoped that she could get away with money. After all, they had to pay the truth, or the price of divorce and reunion with her was too high. This town, which had never been invaded by war, was caught in a violent storm because of the news of a man's death. .

The war was finally over, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and everyone took out all their anger and resentment for the war on the woman, even if she was not a witch.

Little Leonardo was too young to even protect himself. The only thing he could do was to silently escort Marina away from this town that could no longer accommodate her.

The train going away took away the hardships experienced by the woman, people's memories of the war, and even the boy's first love and the chaotic memories of his youth.

Many years later, the woman's husband came back, he did not die, but lost an arm. What he has to face is not only the abandoned city after the war, the woman's past infidelity, but also people's ridicule. The little boy reappeared, and his young and feeble love had turned into a deep friendship for the woman. He was the only one who knew the whereabouts of the woman. Renardo wrote a letter and told Marlene what had happened. Na's husband, when they walked side by side on the familiar streets of the town again, this pair of shining characters once again became the focus of the town.

Those eyes seemed to be in disbelief that the person who was so humiliated by them dared to appear in front of them.

But Marina, who used to shake her long black hair in the sea breeze, became timid. Only then did the women feel that she was safe, and they showed their kindness. At the end of the film, the woman is carrying a vegetable basket On the way home, her expression was as calm as the blue Mediterranean Sea.

Beauty is like wealth. If there is no power to protect, it will arouse the desire of others sooner or later and become the target of plunder.

If you will be driven away by the townspeople if you do nothing like Marina, why not make a big fuss before leaving?

After all, Marina was too kind, that's why she became a lamb. If it was herself, she would definitely take revenge on those who humiliated her.

There used to be a Benedictine church and monastery on the island of Sant'Angelo-Polvere, which was turned into an ammunition depot in the 16th century. On a thunderstorm night in the 17th century, the tower was struck by lightning and exploded, almost destroying the entire island, it was later abandoned.

Since then, the towers in Venice were not allowed to be higher than a certain height. Why didn't Marina find the ammunition depot in Sicily before leaving, and blow up those who hurt her to death on the Sabbath?

Maybe it's because it's just a romance movie.

And the ammunition depot is not so easy to sneak in, but her husband is an officer, so there is no hope at all?

A beautiful creation, but God didn't give her courage and wisdom, so she couldn't taste the sweetness of revenge.

It was a cup of poisoned wine, just like the fruit of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. If you eat it, you will die, but Hamlet drank it anyway.

"You don't know who I am." She looked into his dark eyes and whispered "I'm not an angel at all."

"I know, you are an evil witch." He smiled and said, "And I, am a dark wizard."

"We are definitely bad guys." Pomona hid in the woods, looking behind her, the three Muggle kids were leaving in the motorboat. "Where do you think they went?"

"Going to find Francis' asylum." Severus said without hesitation, "Do you want to follow and see?"

"I'm not interested in convents," Pomona said. "I don't want to be a nun."

"But Monica's sister wants to be, she's only sixteen," Severus said. "What a stupid girl."

Pomona felt that the question was unsolvable.

Because there is another kind of happiness in life without love between men and women.

"Should we continue our tour, or find a place to be alone?" she asked.

"Let's talk about it later," he said, and then he started kissing her again. The sound of seagulls is actually the same as Hyde Park. British Seagull.
