In the fictional universe of Mobile Suit Gundam, Captain Paolo Cassius, a man of Portuguese descent, was the plank owner captain of the Earth Federation mobile suit carrier White Base. Mortally wounded during the Zeon attack on Side 7, he died a few days later, command passing to Ensign Bright Noa. Shortly after his death, he was given a military funeral, and his body was committed to the sea of space.
The art of Venice was vanishing like her political power; and the only painters who attempted to stem the tide of artistic decadence were the Canaletti, Guardi, Tiepolo and Longhi.
But whilst the Canaletti and Guardi dwelt upon the architectural glories of Venice, and Tiepolo applied himself to decorative schemes in which he continued the tradition of Paolo Veronese and Tintoretto, Longhi became the chronicler of the life of his compatriots.
In a way his art may be set beside Hogarth's, though the Venetian did not play the part of a satirical moralist.
