I just recently started following you so i don't have the full lore of your murderous gay religiously traumatized doggos, BUT, from my understanding, they are Italian and i don't know what part of Italy they are from, yet i can't help headcanoning Vasco as Tuscan, while Machete is probably from some part of Veneto. And as an Italian who has heard Tuscans and Veneto dialet, well it's an hilarious mental image.

Vasco is indeed Tuscan, Florentine to be specific. He comes from a wealthy and influential noble family that has lived in Florence for centuries. He's proud of his roots, and it's usually easy for strangers to tell where he's from. He's a resonably successful politician and has worked as an ambassador and representative of Florence on numerous occasions.

Machete is originally Sicilian (ironically about as far from Veneto as possible), although he was taken to mainland at young age and has lived in several places since then, before ending up in Rome. The way I see it, he exhibits very little local color, his demeanor and (even though Italian hadn't become a standardized language yet) way of speaking are formal, neutral and scarcely give away any hints about his personal history, at least in the 16th century canon.

#I tend to take the easy way out with the various Italian dialects/languages and temper their effect on how the dog world works #even though to my understanding in reality they differ drastically from each other even today and they aren't always mutually intelligible #especially when you compare northern and southern ones #I know at least Sicilian is so different from modern day Italian it's considered a separate language entirely #it isn't the only one but I'm not a linguist and not even Italian so I'm not really qualified to be explaining any of this to you #main point is that my dogs are well traveled educated and adaptable so I'd like to believe that they manage #otherwise making this whole scenario work would become very complicated #language barriers aplenty #Machete is a fast learner with a natural knack for languages so he absorbs/decodes new ones easily #and I can see him acting as an interpreter if necessary #which is a valuable trait for someone working as the secretary of state I'd imagine #a lot of people he ends up dealing with speak at least passable Latin so at a pinch they might perhaps try switching to that?#Vasco might have a Tuscan flavor but Machete is more of a blank slate (at least in public and at work)#answered #fallenoftheromaempire #feel free to correct me if I've gotten something wrong I'm not an expert and this stuff is complicated for an outsider

Former mayor urges tourists not to pay to enter Venice

Tourists arriving in Venice should not have to pay the “absurd” entrance fee charged to day-trippers when it is introduced today, the city’s former mayor has said.

Massimo Cacciari, who was mayor of the city from 1993 to 2000 and from 2005 to 2010, stressed that tourists already “pay for everything” and that he was “suggesting that everyone should not pay” the €5 (£4.30) levy, which comes into effect on Thursday.

He said day visitors already pay “three times as much as residents” for public transport in the city and that all travellers contribute to the longevity of Venice’s restaurants and museums.

The former mayor also said he would “like to see” city officials “justify in court the legality of the city’s entry tax.” He told Adnkronos news agency:

“What are they going to do, block people’s movement, send out the police to ask to see everyone’s papers?”

Venice will become the first city in the world to charge entry fees for day-trippers. This is intended to reduce the number of short-stay tourists who create unmanageable congestion during peak hours.

The “tourist tax” has caused much controversy, with several committees and residents’ associations planning protests to coincide with today’s launch in Italy. Representatives argue that the levy will not solve fundamental problems, but will only tarnish the public image of the city.

I should figure out why self aware people piss me off

#like someone can have a flaw or act a certain way #but if that person TELLS me?? about this issue they have and they still do it around me??? oh my god I’m frothing at the mouth #maybe it’s the hypocrisy??? or that I’m not super self aware enough to say I have these flaws up front #or some secret other thing #anywayyyy #I don’t desperately want to go home but I don’t think I’m gonna ever travel internationally again to stay with a friend #I think I’m getting as much enjoyment out of this as I would from being in like California or New York #I’m dreading the flight back home and definitely the worst parts of this so far has been that i . ok #1 am incredibly isolated and dependent on my friend because I’ve never done this before and it’s not like I’m doing a study abroad thing #in that case I’d have other peers and adults in charge of me #and 2! if I am not getting along with her the whole time then where the fuck do I go!!#people don’t speak English here and I know almost zero Italian #I think I’ve lost track of my point idk ugh #yeah I did lose track of my point lol. the other bad thing was the jet lag and how swollen my legs had gotten during my flight over here #thankfully I’m not old and this is the first time I’m on a flight for 10 hours but blood clots scaaaare meee #big succession moment tbh
