There is the historic town built on 118 alluvial islands in a lagoon, plus two other communities on the mainland: the bleak, modern residential suburb of Mestre, which the daily Corriere della Sera calls a "delirium of concrete," and the huge, fume-filled industrial port of Marghera. Any action to help Venice often turns out to harm her ugly sisters. For example, Venice is sinking in part because the pumping of fresh water from artesian wells in Mestre and Marghera depletes the underground...
...aside for restoration of the city's houses and monuments. Up to now, most preservation has been done by private organizations, many of them international.

...conception of Judas as hero evolves, moreover, with what used to be called a fruitful ambiguity, leaving the reader to ponder the author's real intent. For while Judas begins as a humanist hero and Della Paresi is clearly a villain, it becomes progressively clear just how much Judas, the political revolutionary, and this unscrupulous priest resemble each other. They are both, in fact, unpleasant Ubermen-schen who see themselves as saviors of mankind but scorn all other men and other men's laws. Judas and Della Paresi agree that the meek will never inherit the earth...
