Crimini alla veneziana: Fatti e fattacci nella Serenissima by Espedita Grandesso

March 4, 2017 by admin

By Espedita Grandesso

Racconti apparsi in circa due anni sul quotidiano «Il Gazzettino» che s’ispirano a fatti e fattacci del passato di Venezia e di altre località appartenenti al suo territorio. Queste cronache, antiche e meno antiche, mostrano l’altra faccia della medaglia e fungono da contrappeso alle cerimonie, lussuose e ieratiche, che circondavano il doge e l. a. nobiltà, e a quel ritratto di squisitezza e cortesia a cui los angeles Venezia turistica è condannata da almeno un secolo.
La Serenissima Repubblica fu molto di più del pio quadretto di garbo e di cortesia che viene costantemente presentato; ben vengano, perciò, le cronache sbracate di delitti, omicidi e rapine a mano armata, le quali – sia natural in negativo – testimoniano los angeles vitalità di un popolo che seppe esprimere anche momenti di eroismo e di grande intelligenza politica.
