I try! Ok I’m not blaming the people now for being descendants. The lead character in the story was an American foreigner anyways. When I took on of the boats around Venice I had a European couple going on about it. They kept calling it a city of thieves, shrug. More that for a city where important pieces of the historical artifacts and art was stolen by betrayal it’s a bit ironic to complain about modern wealthy people. As in “how dare rich opportunistic Bezos rent this city where he can see beautiful Byzantine treasures stolen by rich opportunistic Doge Enrico Don-solo.” Then again maybe it is an intentional backdrop for the story.
