(in higher than the others, John has left the Church, the arcane mysteries of God)
The bezel used as the cover of our home page is a 16th century fresco by Correggio. preserved in the Church of San Giovanni Evangelista in Parma

Venice? how all of Italy is becoming a colony https://www.affaritaliani.it/cronache/venezia-3-bar-storici-comprati-da-cinesi-effetto-covid-sui-locali-714700.html https://wwwhi-726057..affaritaliani.it/economia/italia-in-svendita-camera-con-covidi-fondi-esteri-a-caccia-di-alberghtml
China is a regime
Jubilee of 2000, St. Peter's Square, price of a half-liter bottle of still water 5 Euro. My mom told me about it, recently passed away, adding that the bottle was a solid block of ice, from which single drops of water came out.
I confirm everything!
And when I screamed at a bar manager by yelling at him if he thought he was in Dubai, with half-liter bottles of water a 5 Euro, in response he told me:
«But in Dubbai there is no jubilee?».
I replied:
«No, but they haven't even killed themi!».
I add: and we know well that in those days, to tamper with all the fountains around San Pietro, from which fresh water comes out much better than that packaged in bottles, they were surely these thieves at night or whoever for them, so that thirsty pilgrims and tourists were obliged to submit to those thefts.
I doubt that in the 2000 you may have paid in € uro.
Pay no attention to it, people like me who have problems with numbers tend to confuse lira and euro in the temporal space of historical memories, surely meant 5.000 lire and not 5 Euro

Yup, they had to be 5000 read, my mom to ask, Unfortunately, there is no more.
E’ the same old problem of cities sinister, that is, those who undeterred continue to take pride in communism, convinced to be there “culture”, the model to follow, without realizing instead of slipping more and more into a vulgar and comical two-bit third worldism, because while they are drinking, other cities and towns stand out, adapting more and more to world standards, crescendo…
Poor things.
Sinister cities like Venice, Florence, Pisa, nn they really realize they now have a hallucinating gap … the last time we went to Pisa and Siena, technically two flagships for tourists, the catering was to cry, the series “how to destroy the Tuscan culinary art”. In the square in Siena dozens of photocopy restaurants all with menus and frozen pizzas, rubbish served to unsuspecting tourists convinced that they are finally enjoying real Italian cuisine. I'm not Tuscan, I remember, I felt a rage to see this vile sabotage of our traditions, I would have invited those tourists to my house. But where do these scoundrels take pride, who also mysteriously manage to have the licenses to open in the center, at those prices, that garbage?
In Pisa we desperately searched for a restaurant near the Tower, we found only one dive that served a horrifying menu, of the escape … in Milan in the center and outside the city you will find everything you want. Months later we learned that they closed due to intoxication … and not that Florence is in better shape, they also seem to take a leap into the 70s … but I'll stop here …
Venice is no longer administered by the left, since he was elected Mayor of Brugnaro, six or seven years ago, for the first time. And then to the great scorn of the piddini, re-elected last year.
That said, I can only associate myself with his thought. The damage caused by leftism is difficult to cure: just think of a famous bridge for which a certain archistar was called.
To father Ariel: I go even further back, when I think of the billions of petrified trees that lie under the foundations of the marble palaces of this city, and that the Venetians took away from the woods of the Belluno mountains, well, I think that if one day Venice were swallowed by the waves of the Adriatic sea, he would only get what he deserves…. but this is a really bad thought. After all, the Serenissima, maybe obtorto neck, he knew a lot to give to the world in culture and support for the defense of Christianity.
The Venetian taverns are dirty??? well, also some clubs in Rome….. we fled from a hotel near Santa Maria Maggiore, In the 1985, which was certainly not cheap, and offered us a splendid bathroom, obtained in a terrace closed by a glass window. However, the dusty windows offered excellent privacy.
First of all, I specify that Gianfranco Vissani and Antonino Cannavacciuolo are in the restaurant business as Rocco Siffredi * and Franco Trentalance * are in the Gregorian chants of the monks of Siloe.
Said this: thank you for your article dear Father, article that contains truth from start to finish.
I am a lover of regional Tuscan cuisine and I had a family restaurant in the center of Florence opened by my grandparents in 1934.
After the center of Florence has become a jungle of fast-food and restaurants where frozen and pre-cooked triumphs, I have rented the commercial fund after decades of family business, I retired to a small provincial village where I have a small restaurant where authentic Tuscan cuisine is served, and where you can enter only by booking a week in advance.
I don't set foot in Florence (and I am a Florentine DOC!) and if I need anything or commissions are needed, I ask the courtesy of my children to go to them.
I have sent you my address in private e-mail, come and visit me with the other Fathers, it would be a great honor for my whole family.

* N.d.R. the two gentlemen mentioned at the beginning by our very nice reader (Siffredi and Trentalance) they are two Italian porn actors, we specify it because it is not said that all our readers know them
Dear Father,
what a wonderful and realistic article! The old dear Catholic pragmatism is unsurpassed! And what a delight to hear that he was a friend of Paolo Poli, an unsurpassed giant of the theater, an intellectual end and a homosexual in my opinion a believer (his Saint Rita was nothing but an act of love for the Saint of the Impossible?).
I am indebted to you for the scented bath of realism (the fake sacrilegious artists and the rich egalitarians “Progressives” at the expense of others) and for the good memories of true culture (ah, “Dangerous Liaisons”, the real 1700s, without the mock blasphemous horror of others “writers” very unpleasant and boring).
Venice then, how much truth in his words! Unfortunately this has happened for some years also in the “our” beloved Ortigia (I'm from Syracuse and we had already written to each other…), with a swarm of fast food and closets with really ugly trinkets. 20 years ago it was quite another to see: few nice shops souvenir, bars for citizens and not only for tourists and very few pubs that generate alcoholic nightlife. But the lure of money was too strong: now we will see who will reopen!
I hope the Mother of God and Saint Lucia watch over this beautiful city!
Regards.
Gianni
Caro Father,
I lived for many years in Venice where I sold Murano glass online and bought from the same wholesalers from which they bought the 99% of the shopkeepers of Venice. These wholesalers, that supply all of Venice, the first thing they tell you when you go there for the first time is that it is Chinese glass. I have seen very famous and sky-high-priced shopkeepers buying them with me …
He has never wondered why Murano glass is not DOCG? (Of Guaranteed Certified Origin) Simple, because the Venetians don't want to, if they did, their entire market would collapse.
You are absolutely right Father, for sale… I miss your forays into “Straight and Reverse”… We are right in the shit!!!
