Venetians

Arrivals at Piazzale Roma or at the station of S. Lucia and meetings tourists, listless people, people for his own business, people of color with false designer bags as false the desire to settle, with Chinese laser and knives. A souvenir vendor that offers you look angry and impatient with unnecessary things. The ticket steamboat that forces you to be quick to tell you where you want to go to you that you have not idea where you are. But where are the Venetians?

The liberty bridge, one that connects the rest of the worldwith Venice, the Venetian is now increasingly seen as a thing that makes you sad, something to be avoided. The only go to Mestre is an important trip although the presence of hypermarkets in Marghera, Mestre and Marcon, and therefore the possibility of saving than the small grocery stores, is to take the bus for a few hours and then break away from the lagoon. From Mestre Venice is no more than nine miles, in practice they are very close but lontanissime.La word "foreigners" identifies not only the person but also the foreign Italian who is not a Venetian.Strange for a people who have been accustomed to living with foreigners for hundreds of years. The tourism in Venice is born again in the Middle Ages when they brought in the lagoon the guise of saints more or less famous; Turks, Jews, Armenians, Greeks, Albanians, Germans all had their Venice. In Venice we talk about the Venetian anywhere: the grocery store, at the bank, at a meeting between the municipal and school teachers. Speaks in the Venetian dialect, but mostly speaks in dialect loud as the gondolier who speaks with his colleague three gondolas earlier in some quiet channel as if it were in a living room a bit 'wider than that of his home.

If you do not speak the dialect, is spoken Italian interspersed with a few words in the local dialect. And how to know how you can even speak Italian, the double, the Venetians never say, you make them feel more in evidence. The streets are named streets, squares and then again campiei fields, canals, rieli, salizade, shorts and so on. For 200 years, there is a road by the city council wanted to make it equal to the other cities Venice, the New Road. A wide street in spite of all those alleyways so narrow and unhealthy. It was named after Vittorio Emanuele II, but two hundred years you still call it new. New road, fondamente nine completely new for hundreds of years. On the Riva degli Schiavoni is the monument to Vittorio Emanuele II, which everyone calls "the monument". Yes, there are few monuments in Venice because the Republic has always been opposed to the worship of the person: the people go by, the institutions remain. It is always preferred to treat more institutions that glorify a character who also has given so much for his city.In fact, many celebrities have always loved Venice, are they friends or enemies. Venice has always been envied by all that everyone wanted to disappear from the face of the earth. Just in the period of greatest decline Venice has been enriched with works of art, libraries, sumptuous palaces. A doge died in the period of carnival, which is preferred to break the news on Ash Wednesday. It gave much more importance to a party or a celebration that a major commitment, rather they preferred to let time limasse problems instead of solving them. But do not think that Venice and the Venetians are cowards: the cry of "Viva San Marco" have conquered all conquerable.

Venetians and garbage

It 's always been a problem inVenice that of the removal of rubbish. Although in some areas there are bins as in other cities, there is the custom to put the bags outside the door. How can you do otherwise in a particular city like this?

As if the Venetians go to Sunday?
Venice, city of water, equal to the boats. Do not think that the average Venetian boats have beautiful and well kept. And not all Venetians have the boat! In fact only a few are lucky to have her, either because there is no place to put it because the channels are narrow and true "parking", if we want to compare everything to the situation in mainland with the car , there are not a part one at Giudecca. The Venetians with the boat on Saturday evening to be in some island with the restaurant and are doing, eating and joking and, on Sundays, if you have not spent the night in the boat, they go to take in the sun "Bacan" a species of beach accessible only by boat from Venice to Punta Sabbioni.

walk As the Venetians?

The Venetian walking shipped keeping to the right as if he had a car, but not because we are used to go there a lot, there is just very spontaneous as a tacit agreement. The Venetian does not keep his head down because he is sure to always find someone to say hello and, if you really want to avoid someone, but not the lower whirls inside a calle sure to pop up in another one that goes in the same part he wanted. The Venetian also has the ability worthy of a skier as for dodging the other people inside sorpassandone narrow streets; In fact rarely will happen to urtarvi in Venice with a Venetian. The bridges need to be addressed by running uphill and a bit 'slower downhill. If the fields have many lanes there is always one main from where it comes and where it goes: if one walks shipped then it will let people know that that road would otherwise slow down and let the others without deigning to look at anyone. All in silenzio.Ma not everyone is young and not all are in a hurry. First of all the gondoliers.They work rowing or still attract tourists; if they move to go for a drink. Their walk is then interrupted by many breaks due to the difficulty of putting together the gesture talking and walking: either you do one or the other. But do not let the long list and we retired. Retirees are walking in groups of three or four more with his hands behind but rarely talking loudly as if to let people know that they are still alive now talking about what does not happen anymore. Other retirees are the couples wife / husband that, if all goes well, go slowly walk from Via Garibaldi to rail and vice versa if you are from Via Garibaldi and Via Garibaldi railway and vice versa if you are ever passing by the railway to the Strada Nova. If things go bad, they go to visit their relatives in hospital or in the cemetery
