The only flag that you will find hanging from the balcony of the signed today is the Lion of San Marco (1). The undersigned now has absolutely nothing to celebrate. First of all, for historical reasons, my land, the Veneto, was conquered by the Kingdom of Italy in 1866, ie five years after the proclamation of the kingdom Italiot. The conquest was so tragicomic. Italy in fact lost all the battles of the so-called "Third War of Independence" by winning only Bezzeca and taking a long series of slaps. He even came to the comic up in the battle of Lissa, where Italy was defeated by the Austrian emperor in the only naval battle ever won by the Hapsburgs in their multi-secular history. Indeed, providing further information, the battle was won by the Venetian fleet, increased the pay of the Habsburg Empire after the sell-off of Napoleon (the Habsburgs guardaron well beloved by the "restore" the Serenissima and held the gift of the hated Napoleon after the Congress Vienna NDA) that stunned Italy. Just the fact that the Venetian sided with the Austrians never loved, contributing significantly to the first and only naval victory of the Habsburgs, though does not end up in the coils of the octopus Savoy should give pause to all those incense the so-called "Renaissance" as a spontaneous union of peoples who were seen to be the time to submit by the Piedmontese. Italy in 1866 in short intakes of holy right, but used the alliance with Prussia (who clearly beat the Habsburgs) to get the famous "plebiscite" in which to decide the fate of the Veneto. The "plebiscite" as evidenced by an old essay by Ettore Begg entitled "1866: The big scam" was a farce , to embarrass the referendum on Saddam Hussein. Throughout the Veneto "No" result, according to official figures, a few dozen, and that in itself speaks volumes. The vote was not held democratically and transparently, not at all. The right to vote was granted only to a minority-based census. France, which would have to exercise the role of arbiter and controller, he washed his hands, leaving that the minions of Garibaldi did the beautiful and the weather. The vote was not secret, but the polling stations were there two containers, one for "Yes" to the annexation and one for "No" in which to place the annexation on the board, obviously passing through the bands that Garibaldi , fully armed, oversaw the farce. In short, the undersigned now has nothing to celebrate. My land has been colonized by this country in a fraudulent, then a country that has done everything possible to strip it of its resources. No, today I do not have anything to celebrate.
PS
However, a omen for Ireland and the Irish the feast of St. Patrick, hoping one day to be able to emulate their struggle for independence.
