Vittorio, six attentive to the artistic ambience, I didn't expect it from you!
(In response to Vittorio Sgarbi)
Vittorio, I didn't expect it from you!
The flag of the Veneto Region is not the millenary flag of the Venetian Republic, All share the winged lion, it was the Venetians and later adopted by San Marco. Just take a look to see huge differences.
The regional flag has geometric designs, It seems designed by a “bricklayer”, and shows the 7 provinces of the Region, while obviously it does not report the other Veneto provinces that are in other regions.
The flag of the Serenissima, in the most famous foggia of the many of 1200 years of history, It contains ancestral symbols like the lily, Orthodox cross, i moved, It does not refer to a territory but to a nation, I have been waving for many centuries and is also carved in the stones in a vast territory for the most part not Italian which not only includes Italy from Bergamo to Udine, But Istria, Dalmatia, The Islands of the Adriatic, Cycladic, your Crete, and possessions of the Black Sea …. It is harmonious and carved by history. It is currently the flag of the city of Venice alone.
The Veneto Region is certainly of Venetian identity, but the latter does not enclose in one region, We have to remember what was the Veneto until recently, and the Triveneto , And in the end it turns out that the Venetian identity is still very expanded and goes outside the Italian state, albeit with many languages. Then speak of dialects, But the Venetian language is not a dialect: how can it be given that existed 300 years before Dante? (assuming that Dante can be said to be the current Italian). On the other hand, the Venetians speak more languages, Also in addition to the Venetian Friulian, Ladin, cimbro…. How the Swiss we have an identity with multiple languages.
But all this is still not all you wrote about wrong. La Serenissima was a very efficient state, who assiduously fighting corruption and abuse of power, conflicts of interest, He built peace through mutual interest with neighboring peoples, He favored the arts, culture, the sciences. He invented the Patents. Repressed abuse of power. He erased the slavery first. Venice invented insurance, the condominium law, public transport, public health and mutuals, assistance to disabled, public housing, and even trade unions with professional training. He had similar legislation to Common Law. The Republic managed the territory and the environment in a respectful and wonderful way in the concept of cultural landscape, It established the first reserves, He moved the Bacchiglione and the Po….. above all, he has fought long and hard to their land when they were at risk of invasion, He has not abandoned (I think of Istria “Italian”).
If all this is not enough, know that Indro Montanelli, good old, He wrote that the Venetian Republic was not Italian, and that the fatal error of united Italy was to extend Piedmont legislation to the territories conquered instead of adopting the legislation of the Serenissima Veneta Republic. Unfortunately it could not be otherwise, Piedmont was the one that was first invaded Lombardy with the French soldiers, and then with that money looted invaded other states under Italian protection and pushed and aid of the international Freemasonry and the British navy…. Mica wanted to do good of the invaded peoples! They adopted the Venetian legislation only if the aim had been to combine to improve.
I don't see anything in common between the Serenissima and Italy united today and yesterday. Not Justice, science, the arts, the good life ….. let alone if I look at’ Istria and Dalmatia, Venetian for millennia (since before the Roman Empire) and abandoned from Italy to an almost total and even denied genocide. He disappointed me to tell you that Italy is in “sequence” the Serenissima, for more forgetting 70 years of the Austro-Hungarian occupation. You do not give goat like you do with the ignorant, but let me tell you that you expressed a concept of herd.
