       | I think that many of our conceptions of Europe, and history are
       | off. There mas much more churn and people moving around than we
       | think. Though Menocchio probably didn't travel far, the priests
       | and members of the Inquisition did. If you where close to a
       | river, you'd see lots of people moving around, they were highways
       | of goods being moved.
