Harry Potter Morning Light

When the Plague of Venice broke out in 1348, it was Andrea of ​​the Dandolo family who served as the governor. It had been more than a hundred years since Enrico Dandolo threatened the Crusaders with debts to attack Constantinople.

Whatever the rationale for the Crusades, there is no doubt that there were plenty of people who made a fortune fighting, and it just so happened that the Templars were one of them.

Before Andrea, there were many Dandolos who served as Governor of Venice. They didn't encounter such difficult problems, and they were unlucky when they came to him.

During the six years from 1347 to 1353, the bubonic plague killed more than 25 million Europeans. Because Italy was an important bridgehead for trade between Europe and the East, it was the first to be hit by the Black Death, and there was no place to escape.

You are asymptomatic, but everyone around you is falling down. Do you stay and die with them or find a place where no one is isolated?

His wife died, and his two children were asymptomatic. The city officials asked those who were sick at home not to go out. Faced with this situation, they had to flee the city for the sake of their two children.

However, in some places, villages have been closed directly to prevent outsiders from entering. Who else can help except shouting to God?

The church has an almshouse and will help those in need. Not all priests are liars, and there are good people who are willing to help. Hufflepuff's ghostly fat monk is one of them. As for whether you will run into a good guy or a bad guy, it depends on luck, which is probably the most scarce resource in the world.

It's her honeymoon and of course she's not sick enough to spoil the fun by leading Severus to the grave, it's all Monica and Alessandro wanting to see if there really are ghosts in that church before bringing her Yes, now they're sure—there's really no ghosts in this place, so they take Pomona on a motorboat to the Church of Our Lady of Health.

Titian died of the Great Plague in 1576, and the Cathedral of Our Lady of Ankang was when the Great Plague broke out in Venice again in 1630. The elders made a wish to Maria. Church of Elonby.

The church began to be built in 1631 and was completed in 1687. At that time, Titian had died for more than a hundred years. Compared with the overcrowded St. Mark's Square, there were far fewer tourists in the Church of Our Lady of Ankang. After all, most People don't stay in Venice for a long time. They often take a photo of this gray-blue Baroque building with a camera in the distance, and then they are considered to have been there.

There is a health festival in Venice, which is designed to avoid and eliminate the plague. Every year on November 21, many people will participate in the activities held in the church.

This day is also the only day in a year that ordinary people can enter the church through the main entrance. Believers hold lighted candles and walk to the church across the boat bridge across the mouth of the Grand Canal.

Everything that adorns the Virgin is the most beautiful masterpiece in Venice, including 12 works completed by Titian after he was 90 years old, which are treasured in the sacristy.

Many people have different ideas about masterpieces and treasures. If Da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Raphael represent the Florentine school of painting, then Titian represents the pinnacle of the Venetian school of painting.

The Florentine school of painting focused on sketching and realism, while Titian paid attention to color. The Venus he painted is like a woman who just took a bath, lying on a soft sofa, waiting for her lover to have a good time. The Venus of the Florentine School can be represented by the birth of Venus. It was an adolescent girl with eyes full of confusion of "Who am I? Where am I?"

A pure girl or a beautiful milf, which one do men like?

Venetians like beautiful women, they have flesh and blood, when the plague occurs, they can do nothing else, the only thing they can do is to pray to Maria, so that everyone can survive this disaster safely.

After the plague passed, the Senate decided to honor its oath, and when it began to run for the architect of the new church, it demanded that the project "not only cost too much, but also give people a good impression." After a Black Death attack, Venice has been severely damaged. , not to mention two times, coupled with the westward shift of the trade center, Venice is even worse.

At this time, the Ottoman Empire was competing with the Western Christian Alliance for hegemony in the Mediterranean. Members of the Knights Hospitaller, four to five thousand civilians, and about two thousand infantry jointly won the siege of Malta.

News of the disastrous defeat at the Battle of Djerba sent shudders across Christian shores, and the victory at the siege of Malta brought confidence.

However, at that time the New World had already been discovered, and countries had already begun to grab the colonies of the New World.

Wars cost money, and medical treatment also costs money. There is no money to continue squandering, but the Virgin has blessed everyone, and of course we must dedicate the best to her. If there are not so many gold and silver jewels, famous paintings, including The altar back wall decoration painting "The Coronation of St. Mark" and Tintoretto's "The Wedding of Cana".

"The Wedding at Cana" was rolled up by Napoleon's army and brought to Paris. Now the Louvre exhibits a copy, and the original is still in the Church of Notre-Dame des Ancons.

It doesn’t matter if Napoleon took away other works, but he would not be authentic if he took away the paintings of the Church of Our Lady of Ankang. No wonder he called himself Attila of Venice.

After he took away the painting, the Black Death occurred in Venice in 1793, and Poveglia Island was urgently requisitioned as a shelter. At the same time, a total of 110,000 people nearby went to the island for "isolation". They were all cremated, and the burning day and night resulted in a layer of black ash on the island. To this day, there are still many bones and ashes that have not been cleaned up.

Let the population enter the city without restriction, resulting in excessive population density, and the spread of the plague is fast. Venice is still controlling the population of the city today, just to avoid the tragedy of Poveglia Island from happening again, but they control the number of tourists No, especially those big cruise ships, they just stop around the lagoon.

These boats block the coastline of Venice. They themselves can see the magnificent sunset on the boats, but the people in the city can't see it. In fact, they can live in a resort hotel on a nearby island instead of a hotel on the main island. There's the Lido and the beach and whatnot.

I want to save money, but I also want to play, and I don't know if these people are having fun.

"Oh!"

Along the "S" shaped canal, it felt so cool to fly fast against the wind. Monica laughed loudly with open arms, and the seagulls were flying around their boat just like five hundred years ago.

The boats at that time were still sailing boats, not the current motorboats, but people in those ages of great navigation must have looked at the same sky dyed red by the setting sun just like them.

In the Governor's Palace, there is a group of paintings, the clouds on it look so beautiful, maybe only people who have been by the sea all year round can draw them.

Because they see magical clouds every day, nature is the best artist, and it is also because of it that it can draw such paintings that do not conform to the common sense of human cognition.

As for the painting of the Birth of Venus, the sea and the sky were just the background, and Pomona remembered that Venus seemed to be the daughter of Uranus.

The painting she opened was not enough to enter the Church of Our Lady of Ankang and become an offering to the Virgin.

In Shakespeare's time, the church hadn't been built yet, so he didn't write about it in The Merchant of Venice.

She couldn't find the right words to describe it with her poor vocabulary, but she felt that the place should be suitable for a wedding.

Although Napoleon seems to have always been devoted to Josephine, and she doesn't care about her cheating, does he really love her? Or was that what he acted for the world to see?

The city of Venice is worth visiting in depth. It is a dazzling crystal on the boots. As for Genoa, it is said that it is a city of lighthouses. Maybe she will go to see it sometime after she retires.

As for now, let the time be left to the Venetian "Madame".
