And that doesn't mean that that was the right thing to do. Nationalization is something that the governments use to turn an accumulation of distinct nations into one 'nation' - it fails, in the majority of times. It failed in some parts of Italy.
Brazil, like modern Italy, was built inside an imperial perspective and purpose (
) - that was the connection I made between the two.

Until the "Veneziani" don't mannage to unchain themselves from the controling and evil Italian nation state, Venice will remain Venice, and part of Italy.

Yeah, there are people working on that. I'm in contact with them since a longe time. And... we both know that Italy is not
that evil.

It would be interested to see information of how Venice was intergrated into the Italian nation of today.

By a very suspicious referendum, held by the Italian kingdom.
Veneto was given to France on October 19th 1866, who was supposed to superseed a popular referendum to determine whether to create an independent republic or join the Italian Kingdom. It didn't. The same day, in a room of the Hotel Europa, in Venice, the French general Leboef conceded Veneto to three notaries who "deposed" it in the hands of the kings's (of Italy) commissary count Genova Thaon di Revel. Later in the year Italy held the referendum which turned "unanimously" in favor of annexation.
Of course I'm giving you the Venetian version of history.
