Alas, there was a regrettable dearth of conveniently placed heaps of straw for prospective assassins to land in safely after performing a Leap of Faith.

There were, however, poorly hidden Templar safe houses everywhere:

Venice officially added to the "Must see this shit" list.

It seems to have started as a parody on Twitter, then taken seriously.  Poe's law, etc.

On the other hand the actual provisions of his bill are pretty fucking bad, and not too far from that supposed quote.

The bill is fucking horrific.

Pretty much all of Italy falls under this list.  Here is a random smattering from several different cities:



























In order of appearance: Florence, San Gimignano, Verona, Ravenna, San Marino, Urbino, Assisi, Naples, Pompeii, Sorrento, Montecassino, Vatican City and Rome.

If it makes you feel better, I am now utterly exhausted and with no clean clothes.

It was also punishingly hot in a few of those places.  Pompeii in particular has virtually no shade.  And Florence smells like a latrine.  Tony Blair used to holiday in San Gimignano, so there is obviously something deeply wrong with the place.  Verona helped inflict Romeo and Juliet on the world.  Urbino has an annoying student population.  You can't do the slightest sinful thing in Assisi without feeling that you're making Saint Francis cry.  Sorrento is for people without the fortitude to handle Naples.  Naples is for people who want the closest thing to living in Karachi while living in Western Europe still.  The Vatican City...well, enough said.  And Rome has traffic jams that started before the ascent of man and are still ongoing.

Montecassino is pretty nice though.

Admit it, dude - you want to go anywhere that has "Ass" in the title!

This is my only concern.

My heritage means that any climes that see daylight require me to take several drums of Factor 50,000.
