Press
Pope to Milan: My Milanese friend. It is pleasant in Ferrara at this time of year. I can provide directions.
Venice to Turkey: In response to your question--The Papacy and the Naples player are not interfering with Mare Adriatic. When I control everything from Venice to Durazzo then I will stop attacking you. As you see in my other moves I am just taking over the neutral centers. I take on only power at a time unless provoked or attacked by them. I even repay my debts.
