Venice as a city that stands on a drowned forest and built its satire out of plain facts: a patron saint smuggled out of Alexandria under salted pork, a blind Doge who aimed a crusade at the wrong target, the word quarantine born here, and the last Doge handing back his hat — now under fifty thousand residents, one lagoon, and only one piazza.
Only One Piazza
Style
Fast 168 BPM Venetian furlana in 6/8 — diatonic button accordion, tremolo mandolin, folk fiddle, and nylon guitar over upright bass and heavy low percussion (gran cassa, tamburello, oar-thump), with male and female leads in Venetian-accented English alternating verse by verse and locking into unison on the choruses.
