This quiz starts in 476 AD, after the fall of the Western Roman Empire. It is about Italian history and culture.

The battle of Legnano, and the vehicle in question was the Carroccio, a war chariot drawn by oxen with a city's standard and an altar.

I'll add a hint: This waterway is in Northern Italy, was built long after the Roman Empire was no more, and is near the Adriatic Sea.

Correct! It is the Grand Canal of Venice. Although similar structures exist with the same name, China's Grand Canal is the best known of them. The Canal in Venice is still the only one in Italy with the same name.
Your turn, Mirumoto!

I can take it, then. Who is the saint for whom the special Christian rite practiced in the city of Milan is name after? What is the Catholic rite called?
Hint: It is not the Latin rite.
