One with your roots
In 1797, menaced by Napoleon's army, the nobles of the Serenissima Republic abdicated (although this act of release to one's privileges wasn't formally valid because the number of voters was defective). Remains that the French stealings, then the Austrian hunger and the Italian colonization, dispersed the Venice's Patricians all over the world.
Today, without political aims, who bears the patrician name can partecipate in a community of friends by the virtual Venice. In this site, the memory of the families who built the Europe history is for first time revalued, while movies and literature continue to present the noble under stereotyped negative image.
