Author's Note:
(Thanks to Sallyo for suggesting this one)
Translations: "venezia" is Italian for Venice. In this context = "been easier".
"Italia now" = "I tell ya now"
St Mark's and The Bride of Sighs are features in Venice.
This is the 43rd in a series of 50-word hypothetical romantic encounters with men in different jobs.
I hope you get a giggle out of these.
