1.傭兵隊長
威尼斯是莎士比亞筆下奧賽羅的舞台。奧賽羅：「他們知道我已經為這個城邦盡我的職責。」傭兵隊長這個詞原來自義大利文，condottiere，指的是一個專業的軍隊領導者。他有自己的軍隊，並向國家或君王求償他們的保衛能力。威尼斯需要傭兵隊長，同時傭兵隊長也需要威尼斯。他們的名譽從這裡開始，也在這裡死亡。

一隻聖馬可廣場上的鴿子走上我放在地上的手心，一同與我享受這夏日的陽光。

瘟疫並不會饒了這富足的水上城市。

1.Condottiere
Venice is where Shakespeare’s play, Othello, The Moor of Venice, takes place. We know Othello’s status as a condottiere:" I have done the state some service and they know't" (335) Condottiere is known as a professional military leader or captain, who raised a troop, and sold his service to states or princes at war. Venice needed condottieri as condottieri needed Venice. Their fame started here and also died here.

Plague wouldn’t spare a fertile waterland.
