Vigonovo
Vigonovo is a town in the Metropolitan City of Venice, Veneto, Italy. It is south of SR11. The name Vigonovo derives from the Latin “vicus novus” which means “new village”. Before the year 1000 BC the territory was inhabited by Etruscan civilization, Etruscans, Euganeans, Paleovenetians. It is believed that around 1000 BC after the destruction of Troy by the Greeks, the members of a tribe of Paphlagonia (province of Anatolia, Asia Minor), called Adriatic Veneti, Heneti (hence the name Veneti), landed on the Adriatic Sea, Adriatic coasts and settled there after having expelled the locals Paleovenetian Etruscans. In ancient times the town was called Sarmazza because it was the site of a settlement of Sarmatians (ancient people coming from Eeastwards) and just in the medieval period the town was renamed into Vicus Novus. In 186 BC, at the time of the Roman Empire, the Via Emilia-Altinate was built by the Roman Consul Marcus Aemilius Lepidus (consul 187 BC), Aemilius Lepi ...

The Merchant Of Venice
''The Merchant of Venice'' is a play by William Shakespeare, believed to have been written between 1596 and 1598. A merchant in Venice named Antonio defaults on a large loan provided by a Jewish moneylender, Shylock. Although classified as a comedy in the First Folio and sharing certain aspects with Shakespeare's other romantic comedies, the play is most remembered for its dramatic scenes, and it is best known for the character Shylock and his famous demand for a "pound of flesh" in retribution. The play contains two famous speeches, that of Shylock, "Hath not a Jew eyes?" on the subject of humanity, and that of Portia on " the quality of mercy". Debate exists on whether the play is anti-Semitic, with Shylock's insistence on his legal right to the pound of flesh being in opposition to Shylock's seemingly universal plea for the rights of all people suffering discrimination.
