Event
The Suppression of the Ridotto
Once a regulated gambling house for the Carnival season, the Ridotto has become a haven of scandal and moral decay. Many Nobility, Burghers, and foreign visitors mingle freely in games of chance, risking their fortunes and honor under the golden ceilings of the Palazzo Dandolo. While the Flavor Rank has long profited from taxing these games, growing unrest among the moral and religious factions of the Flavor Rank is pressuring the Court Title to shut it down.

5380historical_info = flavor_ven.97.historical_info The Ridotto opened in 1638 as Europe's first state-run gambling house during the Carnival season. Though initially meant to control vice, it became a symbol of elite decadence and was eventually associated with corruption and moral decline. In 1774, the Venetian government shut it down due to the pressure from reformists and clergy.
