1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,924
Cum haec pellicula vulgāta erit, ego sum vir nūptus!
2
00:00:02,924 --> 00:00:04,697
Nec laetior possum.
3
00:00:04,697 --> 00:00:10,029
Carissimae amantī meae Cyan mense Mārtiō annō
2020 spōnsō, spōnsiōnem īnsolitissimam habuimus
4
00:00:10,029 --> 00:00:13,789
intrā ūniversālem lūdum vestītūs modō
Flōrentiae saeculō millēsimō trecentēsimō,
5
00:00:13,789 --> 00:00:15,202
sed NŪPTĪ SUMUS!
6
00:00:15,202 --> 00:00:19,583
Atque ut fēsta prōdūcam, hanc pelliculam
dēdicāre volēbam meae UXŌRĪ!
7
00:00:19,583 --> 00:00:20,986
Ah! Delectābile.
8
00:00:20,986 --> 00:00:26,275
Itaque rem typicissimē meī fēcit:
opus īnvestīgātiōnis fēminae dedī.
9
00:00:26,275 --> 00:00:27,810
Adōrābile mox fiet, prōmittō.
10
00:00:27,810 --> 00:00:32,813
Eī dīxī eam ūllum locum vel opus architectūrae
totī mundī ēligere posse dē quō pelliculam facerem.
11
00:00:32,813 --> 00:00:35,793
Ēn Cyan peregrīnātiōnem
internātiōnālem nōn neglēxit;
12
00:00:35,793 --> 00:00:39,693
vērē dictum, ea plūrēs nātiōnēs
Europaeās vīsit quam ego.
13
00:00:39,693 --> 00:00:43,880
Itaque modo inter locōs quōs ipsa vīsit
varietās est reverenda ex quā ēligere potuit.
14
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:46,597
Ēlectiō tamen eius mihi erat omnīnō necōpīnāta.
15
00:00:46,597 --> 00:00:50,407
Ēn, in peregrīnātiōne familiae paucīs annīs
anteā ad Londinum, Lūtētiam, et Rōmam
16
00:00:50,407 --> 00:00:52,859
vīsendum, paulisper Venetiae mōram fēcērunt.
17
00:00:52,859 --> 00:00:57,176
Vīdit igitur pontem Rīvōaltum, basicilam
Sanctī Marcī, et portās arsenālis,
18
00:00:57,176 --> 00:01:00,986
sed tempus fūgit, itaque ūnum
invīsum erat palātium dūcāle.
19
00:01:00,986 --> 00:01:03,508
Et, īnversiōne quam vērē
nūmquam expectāre potēbam,
20
00:01:03,508 --> 00:01:07,348
ea mē rogāvit ut hanc eximiam pelliculam
nūptiālem Venetiae dēcicem.
21
00:01:07,348 --> 00:01:11,721
Ea vērē mē rogāvit, inexcitāta, incoācta.
22
00:01:11,721 --> 00:01:14,654
Sciō vōs nōn stupefactōs, sed ego ēdepol eram!
23
00:01:14,654 --> 00:01:21,097
Hīc utique sumus: dōnum ūnae amōrī,
quō loquor dē alterā amōre.
24
00:01:21,097 --> 00:01:23,455
Vocabula eius, nōn mea.
25
00:01:23,455 --> 00:01:25,765
Itaque, ut palātium ducāle melius approbēmus,
26
00:01:25,765 --> 00:01:26,935
architectūram agāmus!
27
00:01:26,935 --> 00:01:34,614
Forō Europaeō historiā arteque maximī mōmentī
situm, hoc palātium erat cor reīpūblicae
28
00:01:34,614 --> 00:01:39,008
quae plūs quam mille annōs restāvit et terrās
habēbat in Italiā septentriōnālī continentī
29
00:01:39,008 --> 00:01:41,266
ac per insulās orientis Maris Nostrī.
30
00:01:41,266 --> 00:01:45,733
Ab urbe contidā aetāte novā mediaevālī
usque ad captam ā Napoleōnī annō 1797,
31
00:01:45,733 --> 00:01:50,163
Venetia historiā suī generis fuit
dē rēbus politicīs et artibus.
32
00:01:50,163 --> 00:01:53,995
Plūrima dē illō iam dīxī multīs aliīs in locīs,
33
00:01:53,995 --> 00:01:58,499
modō igitur sanctōrum mēmet contineō
ad argumentum praesentem.
34
00:01:58,499 --> 00:02:02,955
Ēn Venetia in incipiō nōn vērē erat... Venetia.
35
00:02:02,955 --> 00:02:05,757
Prima urbs in lacū erat Torcellum īnsula,
36
00:02:05,757 --> 00:02:09,956
et posteriōrī dīmidiō saeculō septingentēsimō
rempūblicam regēbāt Metamaucum īnsula.
37
00:02:09,956 --> 00:02:14,564
Postquam autem īnsula paene capta est
ā Byzantīnīs et Francīs ūnā oppugnāntibus
38
00:02:14,564 --> 00:02:15,465
—fābula longa—
39
00:02:15,465 --> 00:02:20,512
dux sīve doge rempūblicam locāvit
in īnsulīs Rīvō Altō sitīs,
40
00:02:20,512 --> 00:02:24,098
ubi castellum aedificāvit quod
obsidiōnēs superāre valdē spērāvit.
41
00:02:24,098 --> 00:02:30,558
Aestheticae certē nōn erant magnī mōmentī,
et prīmum castellum Byzantīnō castellō simile erat:
42
00:02:30,558 --> 00:02:35,420
lapidea moenia alba et rosea, mūrī crēnātī,
fossa circumdāns, firmum quam firmissimē potest
43
00:02:35,420 --> 00:02:39,828
—rē vērā “satis prō opere pūblicō,”
nam castellum nōn modo domum dogis,
44
00:02:39,828 --> 00:02:43,798
sed etiam officīnas pūblicas, cūriās,
carcerēs, et armāmentāria continēbat.
45
00:02:43,798 --> 00:02:47,658
Cūr enim rempūblicam defendendam cūrēs
sine gladiīs magnificīs?
46
00:02:47,658 --> 00:02:52,000
Saeculīs praeteriīs et Venetiā rēspūblica
mercātōria Maris Nostrī prīmāria factā
47
00:02:52,000 --> 00:02:57,390
dogēs locum suum renovāre cōnstituērunt
et “castello” in “palazzo” exstruere.
48
00:02:57,390 --> 00:03:01,864
Itaque decāde 1170 Ziani doge palātium
renovāvit novīs tabulātīs superiōribus,
49
00:03:01,864 --> 00:03:07,421
mūrīs columnātīs, duābus turrīs acūtīs,
et porticibus iūcundīs inter lacum et palātium
50
00:03:07,421 --> 00:03:11,372
etiam inter palātium et basilicam
Sanctī Marcī nūper aedificātam.
51
00:03:11,372 --> 00:03:15,630
Aedēs dogis locātae sunt in alā orientī
iūxtā canālem, cūriae et bibliothēca
52
00:03:15,630 --> 00:03:19,027
in alā occidentī iūxtā forum,
et pleraeque officīnae pūblicae
53
00:03:19,027 --> 00:03:20,853
in alā merīdiānā aquam spectantēs.
54
00:03:20,853 --> 00:03:25,324
Eādem fōrmā fundāmentālī erat
—ecce alterum alterō similissimum—
55
00:03:25,324 --> 00:03:28,519
sed hae renovātiōnēs significant
mūtātiōnem vocis magnam.
56
00:03:28,519 --> 00:03:32,754
Prīmum aedificium erat castellum ad rempūblicam
ab omnibus orbis terrārum defendendam,
57
00:03:32,754 --> 00:03:36,272
sed secundum erat dēclārātiō—immō cavilla!
58
00:03:36,272 --> 00:03:39,390
Cum opulenta architectūra gothica ecclēsiīs sōlīs esset
59
00:03:39,390 --> 00:03:42,010
atque castella rēgālia sēcūritātī nec decorī,
60
00:03:42,010 --> 00:03:48,600
ecce ōrnātissimum palātium saeculārium
in margine maris situm totō mundō aspectābile,
61
00:03:48,600 --> 00:03:52,510
firmum stāns quia hostēs
id nūllō modō afficere potēbant.
62
00:03:52,510 --> 00:03:57,334
Apud historiam mediaevālem sīc agere paene aequat
sē immortālem glōriārī.
63
00:03:57,334 --> 00:04:01,324
Saecula etiam postera ut testantur… vērē, aliquid erant.
64
00:04:01,324 --> 00:04:02,145
hahahae
65
00:04:02,145 --> 00:04:06,315
Itaque populus Venetiānus saecula postera
palātium nempe magnificentiōrem fēcērunt!
66
00:04:06,315 --> 00:04:10,315
Saeculō millēsimō trecentēsimō inceptūrō
Maius Concilium quāsdam familiās nōbilēs
67
00:04:10,315 --> 00:04:14,904
sēlēgit quōrum virīs officium gerere
et rēs iūcundās reīpūblicae agere licēbat.
68
00:04:14,904 --> 00:04:19,794
Maggior Consiglio propter hoc
plūrimīs virīs complētum est brevī tempore,
69
00:04:19,794 --> 00:04:22,744
itaque annō 1340 Gradenigo doge
alam merīdiānam amplificāvit
70
00:04:22,744 --> 00:04:24,741
ut maiōrem cameram conciliārium contineat.
71
00:04:24,741 --> 00:04:27,770
Hīc palātium fōrmam nōbis nōtam sumit:
72
00:04:27,770 --> 00:04:30,252
duplicī ōrdine columnātō cum acūtīs arcibus gothicīs
73
00:04:30,252 --> 00:04:33,023
et superiōrī dīmidiō faciē albā roseāque decorātō.
74
00:04:33,023 --> 00:04:37,691
Saeculō post Foscari doge alam
occidentem amplificāvit eādem faciē,
75
00:04:37,691 --> 00:04:40,861
itaque continuitam habet. Pulchrē!
76
00:04:40,861 --> 00:04:46,441
Foscari quōque aedificāvit gothicissimam
Portam della Chartā quae forō dūcit in platēam,
77
00:04:46,441 --> 00:04:50,624
altera etiam faciēs portae decāde 1480
operta est magnificō arcū triumphālī
78
00:04:50,624 --> 00:04:55,846
—brevī tempore antequam tota ala oriēns annō 1483 flammīs cōnsūmitur!
79
00:04:55,846 --> 00:04:57,779
Fātum nōn mox abitūrum.
80
00:04:57,779 --> 00:05:02,526
Cubiculum dogis repente patefactum
celeriter alterā alā orientī opertum est
81
00:05:02,526 --> 00:05:05,741
modō Renāscentiae novissimō: neoclassicismō.
82
00:05:05,741 --> 00:05:10,931
Architectūra Venetiae gothica ūtitur
arcibus acūtīs, illīs quadrifoliīs,
83
00:05:10,931 --> 00:05:15,727
et audāciter ūnō alterō colōre praeter album
(hīc roseō).
84
00:05:15,727 --> 00:05:20,545
Sententia modī neoclassicī:
“Tantum marmor album, modō Rōmānōrum simile.”
85
00:05:20,545 --> 00:05:23,843
Incertum num hī modī concordent.
86
00:05:23,843 --> 00:05:27,125
Disputātiōnēs internae annō 1498 dēsinēbant
87
00:05:27,125 --> 00:05:33,925
cum patefacerētur archiarchitectum
Antonio Rizzo pecūlātum esse, quī tum fūgit.
88
00:05:33,925 --> 00:05:38,351
Aedificiō modo incohātō
Pietro Lombardo opificiō praefectus est.
89
00:05:38,351 --> 00:05:42,092
Nōbiliter nōn est pecūlātus,
sed eius consilium novum
90
00:05:42,092 --> 00:05:45,041
consiliō anteriōrī pretiōsius multō erat.
91
00:05:45,041 --> 00:05:49,618
Itaque ratiōne aerāriī reīpūblicae…
commercium aequum.
92
00:05:49,618 --> 00:05:55,148
Ala neoclassica inceptō saeculō millēsimō
sescentēsimō perfecta est ponte suspīriōrum famōsō,
93
00:05:55,148 --> 00:05:59,148
dē quō captī postrēmō Venetiam
aspiciēbant dum trānsiēbant
94
00:05:59,148 --> 00:06:02,748
ā conclāvibus palātiī carcereīs
ad carcerem īnsolitē ornātum.
95
00:06:02,748 --> 00:06:06,970
Paulō post aliae duae-et-dīmidia faciēs
platēae partim renovātae sunt
96
00:06:06,970 --> 00:06:12,382
modō facieī neoclassicae cum duplicī ōrdine
modestō sed ēlegantissimō columnātō.
97
00:06:12,382 --> 00:06:16,382
Hic fortasse nōn spectābilis vidētur,
cerebrō autem galacticō est,
98
00:06:16,382 --> 00:06:20,660
nam eōrum arcūs modō ōrdinum classicōrum,
cum columnae īnferiōrēs simplicēs essent
99
00:06:20,660 --> 00:06:23,249
superiōrēsque ōrnātiōrēs, exstrūctī sunt.
100
00:06:23,249 --> 00:06:26,923
Ita ōrdō īnferior arcibus curvātīs modō Rōmānō,
101
00:06:26,923 --> 00:06:30,903
ōrdō tamen superior arcibus acūtīs
modō Venetiae gothicō.
102
00:06:30,903 --> 00:06:33,185
Simplex est sed ingeniōsum:
103
00:06:33,185 --> 00:06:38,435
modum classicum
“superiōrēs ōrnātiōrēs” ad arcūs vertere
104
00:06:38,435 --> 00:06:42,475
simul etiam radicēs urbis gothicās
honōrāre acūtīs superiōribus.
105
00:06:42,475 --> 00:06:47,381
Cum quidem Venetia modum neoclassicum
omnīnō sumēret, adhūc gothicum Venetiae erat.
106
00:06:47,381 --> 00:06:52,001
Mihi placet sēnsū abstractō,
faciēs tamen pulcherrima est:
107
00:06:52,001 --> 00:06:57,440
marmor pallidus umbrās arcuum prōdūcit,
atque ecce discrīmen acre inter album et atrum.
108
00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:02,749
Fōrmae arte sunt sculptae, minūta subtīlia,
nec tota faciēs difficilior quam dēbet.
109
00:07:02,749 --> 00:07:06,131
Hāc palātiī parte ante omnēs aliās fruōr!
110
00:07:06,131 --> 00:07:09,615
Ēn, incertum est inter puerum scelerātum
Rizzo, virum ēlegantem Lombardo,
111
00:07:09,615 --> 00:07:12,095
et columnātōrum amplificātōrem
Bartolomeo Manopola
112
00:07:12,095 --> 00:07:15,484
cuius excōgitātiō esset,
113
00:07:15,484 --> 00:07:17,918
sed, mūrīs paucās hōrās spectātīs
114
00:07:17,918 --> 00:07:22,496
et pāginā Vicipaediae Italicae dē Manopola
quam egomet trādūxī perlectā,
115
00:07:22,496 --> 00:07:27,559
volō dīcere Lombardo excōgitāvisse et Manopola perfēcisse.
116
00:07:27,559 --> 00:07:30,670
Historiae nōn pertinet,
sed quaestiō mē valdē molestābat,
117
00:07:30,670 --> 00:07:32,248
itaque vōbis dīcere necesse erat.
118
00:07:32,248 --> 00:07:35,578
Mūtātiōnēs facieī ultimae factae sunt
postquam merīdiāna oriēnsque alae
119
00:07:35,578 --> 00:07:36,861
cōnflagrātae sunt annō 1577
120
00:07:36,861 --> 00:07:40,077
ac cum nōtissimus architectūra
Andrea Palladio neoclassicus suādēret
121
00:07:40,077 --> 00:07:42,678
ut eae dēstruerentur atque reficerentur.
122
00:07:42,678 --> 00:07:45,358
Ēn, mē hoc dīcere numquam abhinc audiētis:
123
00:07:45,358 --> 00:07:48,097
Deō grātiās nēminem consilium
istius Palladio sūmpsisse!
124
00:07:48,097 --> 00:07:54,047
Faciem eōdem modō restrūxērunt, cupīditātī
tandem ēlegentiae intrā palātium indulsērunt.
125
00:07:54,047 --> 00:07:57,385
Palātium interius ob ignēs ad anxietātem
frequentēs operibus saeculōrum
126
00:07:57,385 --> 00:07:59,763
millēsimī quīngentēsimī
et millēsimī sescentēsimī,
127
00:07:59,763 --> 00:08:02,203
inrā quae aurātissimum barōcum
erat mode du jour.
128
00:08:02,203 --> 00:08:05,898
Splendidum, splendidum, nimissimē difficile.
129
00:08:05,898 --> 00:08:11,564
Conclāvia tam ōrnātissima celeriter cōnfundunt,
sed quōque opere proprius īnspēctō
130
00:08:11,564 --> 00:08:16,205
artem cunctae Europae optimam inveniēs;
131
00:08:16,205 --> 00:08:19,567
magna opera sunt celeberrimōrum
artificium historiae Venetiae.
132
00:08:19,567 --> 00:08:21,683
Neque subtīlitātem petēbant:
133
00:08:21,683 --> 00:08:25,275
cum pictūram 22x7 metra longam
pictōris Tintoretto nōmine “Paradiso”
134
00:08:25,275 --> 00:08:27,656
posterō parietī conclāvis Maiōris Conciliī affīgās
135
00:08:27,656 --> 00:08:31,037
rectē sub dēpictiōne Venetiae vēra dea fientis,
136
00:08:31,037 --> 00:08:32,990
rēs clarissimē patet.
137
00:08:32,990 --> 00:08:36,812
Haec etiam “Fance” partem polīticam habēbat,
nam legatōs aliēnōs stupefaciēbat
138
00:08:36,812 --> 00:08:38,578
quī ad agenda cum Venetiā advēnerant.
139
00:08:38,578 --> 00:08:42,624
Diaetae dogis mīrābillimus ostentus sunt
potestātis opumque, quī peregrīnātōrēs dūcit
140
00:08:42,624 --> 00:08:47,499
in scalās aureās et per ātrium scūtōrum,
conclāve tabulārum, et quod maximē mihi placet:
141
00:08:47,499 --> 00:08:51,499
conclāve pūniceum, quod colōre pūniceō nōn
est pictum, sed traditur sic vocārī quia
142
00:08:51,499 --> 00:08:55,479
conciliātōrēs dogis illō locō
vestēs pūniceās gerēbant.
143
00:08:55,479 --> 00:08:58,195
Hoc solum efficit ut hoc palātium
totī mundī optimum sit,
144
00:08:58,195 --> 00:09:01,466
nam nūllum aliud palātium mihi nōtum
conclāve habet speciāliter
145
00:09:01,466 --> 00:09:04,066
ad convīvia concordātārum
synthesium dormitōriārum.
146
00:09:04,066 --> 00:09:04,863
Ahem,
147
00:09:04,863 --> 00:09:08,052
“Magnus rēx Britānnōrum
auditōrium petit cum dogē,
148
00:09:08,052 --> 00:09:11,392
prīmum autem dēsīderat potiōnem
socolātae et ingentissimum cervīcal,
149
00:09:11,392 --> 00:09:14,041
ut magnus rēx arma adversus rēgem Gallōrum sūmat,
150
00:09:14,041 --> 00:09:17,421
ut eius vultuī molestō alapam det
atque capillōs superbōs turbet.”
151
00:09:17,811 --> 00:09:20,849
Ēventum saltem bis factum, ut opīnor.
152
00:09:20,849 --> 00:09:25,379
Praeter diaetās dogis, palātum omne
officium pūblicum cogitābile continēbat:
153
00:09:25,379 --> 00:09:29,699
Maius Concilium, senātum, concilium decemvirōrum,
concilium dogis, ātrium suffragiī,
154
00:09:29,699 --> 00:09:32,621
cūriās, officīnās reī peregrīnae, officīnam classis
155
00:09:32,621 --> 00:09:35,711
—tota machina cīvilis reīpūblicae erat!
156
00:09:35,711 --> 00:09:38,606
Profectō “palātium dūcāle” vocātur
quia doge ibi habitābat,
157
00:09:38,606 --> 00:09:41,827
sed rē vērā hoc erat palātium reīpūblicae,
158
00:09:41,827 --> 00:09:47,049
alia īnversiō pulchra historiae Venetiae
quae oblocūtiō est sed omnīnō quadrat.
159
00:09:47,049 --> 00:09:52,412
Equidem quōque amō quod in omnī parte
tam Venetiānum est.
160
00:09:52,412 --> 00:09:57,911
Historia aedificiī historiae reīpūblicae
ipsae coniuncta est rē polīticā, artibus,
161
00:09:57,911 --> 00:10:00,883
et—conspicuē omissa—rē mīlitāriā.
162
00:10:00,883 --> 00:10:05,073
Praeterhāc, una ex ecclēsiīs historiae
mundī celeberrimīs, basilica Sanctī Marcī,
163
00:10:05,073 --> 00:10:06,491
modo ibi stat!
164
00:10:06,491 --> 00:10:11,460
Duās tantum eius mentiōnēs fēcī, et in dīmidiō
omnium imāginum est quās vōbis ostendī!
165
00:10:11,460 --> 00:10:13,764
Vērē sit ala palātium septentriōnālis!
166
00:10:13,764 --> 00:10:16,284
Itaque, omnia illa ad loquendum:
167
00:10:16,284 --> 00:10:20,927
fēlicēs nūptiās carissimae uxōrī meae Cyan,
tē hūc dūcere aliquō diē expectāre nequeō.
168
00:10:21,216 --> 00:10:22,838
Grātiās vōbīs agō prō spectandō!
169
00:10:22,838 --> 00:10:25,812
Ecce ingeniōsum vafrumque consilium meum:
170
00:10:25,812 --> 00:10:30,634
sī novās seriēs excōgitāre perrēxerō,
validās et iūstificābilēs ratiōnēs habēbō
171
00:10:30,634 --> 00:10:33,133
ad Venetiam et Flōrentiam rursus dissertandās.
172
00:10:33,133 --> 00:10:37,813
Ēn, pelliculam speciāliter dē duomō nōndum fēcī,
173
00:10:37,813 --> 00:10:40,006
sed NUNC iānua patet.
174
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:43,801
Itaque cursum futūrum observēmus,
et vōs vidēbō in pelliculā proximā.
