Chapter 778 Safe Haven
Chapter 778 Haven
The bridge connecting Venice to the mainland is called the Liberty Bridge, and there is the island of San Giuliano near the bridgehead.
A mission hospital was built on the island in the 12th century, and a defensive tower, dock and other buildings were built in the 13th century. The French demolished the old tower and built a fortress from 1805 to 1814.
Under Austrian rule in 1823, the island had a marina, a financial institution, and a police station.
During the revolution of 1848-1849, the Venetians rebelled against Austrian rule. After the Austrians evacuated, they blew up the fortress and it was later abandoned. The island is now overgrown with weeds and without any buildings.
St. George's Island contains the remains of a monastery built around 1000 AD. It served as a prison from 1799 to World War II and as a quarry. It was abandoned after World War II.
The French and Austrians imprisoned "prisoners" who resisted them here to quarry stones, and then used the quarried stones to build their country's buildings.
Not all the buildings were blown up by the Venetians like the buildings on San Giuliano Island. There were also some left behind, which displayed the firearms and ammunition used during their rule. Anyway, they were the kind of people who said, "You don't obey me.
"I will hit you until you obey" the "civilized country", bombarded the Venetians with 23,000 shells, which makes no sense at all.
After losing the competition with Italy, the Austrians decorated the Golden Hall with looted buildings, as if to piss off the Venetians.
The monastery on Certosa was rebuilt to build a sailing school, otherwise the monastery would have remained in the summer residence in Berlin.
The taste of revenge is very beautiful, but it will make one's heart full of hatred, and Venetians are still living their own lives.
Even if the Wedding in Ghana collection in the Louvre is authentic, would they have the nerve to say where this painting came from?
Even if the painting of the Church of Our Lady of Ancon is fake, it was 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 for a day and don't stay overnight. They are the kind of geese that pass by.
Hair-plucking villain, if you don’t want to have your hair plucked, don’t go to Venice.
Francis's monastery cannot be reached without a private boat, and tours there are prohibited. Similarly, there are many private properties in Venice that are not open to the public.
There are also very small islands in the lagoon, only big enough to build a house. Those houses have their own generators, and some even use solar energy to generate electricity. Anyway, they use the latest technology.
But there are also many abandoned ruins. Some of these houses are defensive towers and some are the remains of churches.
Based on their own imagination, Roman bureaucrats dug a canal and used the silt from the canal to accumulate such small islands, which could eliminate the wake of cruise ships and generate income. By selling it, they could use the funds to build the canal to backfill.
When something is done, it is a political achievement, but there is a school teacher who objects and says no, how disappointing it is.
Not all dreams can come true. After parking the motorboat and docking, Alessandro was chased and beaten by his cousin on the pier. Pomona smiled in relief. This is the curse that disobedient women turn into pillars of salt.
end.
As for the other two "brothers", they watched Alejandro being beaten and had no intention of helping. The so-called brotherhood is so cheap.
"Let's go there for a stroll." Pomona pointed to the legendary and best-preserved Fort St. Andre and said to the three little ghosts, "We will meet at the dock at six o'clock. Now you can move around freely."
Then she grabbed the old bat and ran away. There was no team spirit at all, and the three little guys were stunned.
From the port to Fort Andre you have to pass through a small park, which is full of mangroves. Because there is a lack of people to take care of it, there is no beautiful garden. It is estimated that few people come here at ordinary times, and it looks very depressed. There seems to be snakes in the forest at any time. and animals like saltwater crocodiles appear.
Lagoons sometimes become swampy, or marshy lagoons.
We come from the quagmire, we are hungry for power, we are full of ambition, we are strong and calm, we are elegant and self-possessed, and we never regret.
Slytherin will not wallow in the mire forever, only pigs like it.
The roasted suckling pig at noon was extremely greasy, and she had to rely on lemon and sage to relieve the oil. When the two of them came to a deserted place, they began to kiss intimately again. The dessert she ate 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 that it is a little colder, the sea breeze in Venice should be exactly the same as that in Sicily.
There is a small-budget movie. When the world was shrouded in the smoke of World War II, Sicily was still peaceful. The 13-year-old boy Renato was obsessed with a local young woman who was much older than him, Marina, and her husband had an affair. She was on the front line, and her beauty aroused the jealousy and rejection of local women.
That day, Mussolini declared war on Britain and France, and Renato got his first bicycle.
Marina flipped up her wavy black hair, wore the most fashionable short skirt and stockings, and stepped on high heels full of erotic temptation, and came to the quiet sunny town of Sicily. Every move she made attracted attention. She seduces people's imagination, and her every smile makes men enchanted. She conquers this seaside paradise like a goddess.
However, the person who protected her left, leaving her alone under the prying eyes of men. Even though the Italian soldiers performed very poorly during World War II, which attracted the ridicule of men from other countries, Marina's husband, a cowardly The Italian soldiers could still protect her.
Renaldo also involuntarily fell into the whirlpool caused by Malena. Not only did he ride a bicycle with other older teenagers, he shuttled through every corner of the town, searching for Malena's allure. With her graceful appearance and all kinds of charm, she has quietly become her little follower without knowing it, following her everywhere and peeking into her life. Her swaying figure, the music she listens to, and her close-fitting clothes have all become a part of this young man who is overwhelmed by hormones. , the most real and beautiful erotic fantasy.
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 of an angel, as firm as a rock but with little strength.
He watched her fall into the abyss little by little. There are very few knights who are kind and righteous in this world. There are many men who take advantage of the situation and add insult to injury. She became a widow. Women saw her as a threat, but men saw an opportunity.
They hope that she can spend money to get rid of them. After all, they have to pay for their true love, or the price of divorce and being with her is too high. This small town that has not even been invaded by war has been plunged into a storm of anger because of the news that a man was killed in battle.
.
The war was finally over, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Everyone vented all their anger and resentment against the war on the woman, even if she was not a witch.
Little Leonardo was too young, too small to even protect himself. The only thing he could do was to silently escort Marina to the train and leave the town that could no longer accommodate her.
The train that goes away takes away the hardships that women have gone through, takes away people's memories of the war, and even takes away the little boy's first love and the memories of that war-torn youth.
Many years later, the woman's husband came back. He was not dead, but lost an arm. What he had to face was not only the abandoned city after the war, the woman's past infidelity, but also people's ridicule. Little Boy
Reappeared again, his weak young love has turned into a deep friendship for the woman, he is the only one who knows the whereabouts of the woman, Renaldo wrote a letter and told Marina what happened.
Husband, when they walked side by side again on the familiar streets of the town, this pair of once shining figures once again became the focus of the town.
Those eyes seemed to be in disbelief that the man they had humiliated so dared to appear in front of them.
But Marina, who once flipped 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 was carrying a vegetable basket
Walking on the way home, her expression was as calm as the blue Mediterranean Sea.
Beauty is like wealth. If it does not have the power to protect it, it will sooner or later arouse the desire of others and become the target of robbery by others.
If like Marlena, the townspeople would drive her away if she didn't do anything, why not make a big fuss before leaving?
After all, Marlena was too kind, that's why she turned into a lamb. If it were herself, she would definitely take revenge on those who had humiliated her.
There was once a Benedictine church and monastery on the island of Sant'Angelo Polvere. It 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.
The island was restored and later it was abandoned.
From then on, 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 on the Sabbath?
Maybe it's because it's just a romance movie.
And the ammunition depot is not that easy to sneak into, but her husband is an army officer, so there is no hope at all?
A beautiful creature, but it is a pity that God did not give her courage and wisdom, so she could not taste the sweetness of revenge.
It was a cup of poisonous 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 black eyes and whispered, "I am 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 and looked behind her. The three Muggle children were leaving in the motorboat. "Where do you think they went?"
"Going to seek refuge with Francis." Severus said without hesitation, "Do you want to follow him and have a look?"
"I have no interest in convents," Pomona said. "I don't want to be a nun."
"But if Monica wants to be my sister, she is only 16 years old." Severus said, "What a stupid girl."
Pomona thinks this problem is unsolvable.
Because there is another kind of happiness in life without male love and female love.
"Should we continue the tour, or should we find a place to be alone?" she asked.
"We'll talk about it later." He said, and then started to kiss her again. The sound of seagulls was actually no different from that of Hyde Park. Anyway, she couldn't understand the birds. Maybe Saint Francis could tell whether it was an Italian seagull or a seagull.
British seagull.
