According to Dr. Joseph P. Farrell, Michael Tsarion and Dr. Webster Tarpley (and the "Black Nobility Terror" pdf)
The Descendants of the Ancient Aristocracies of the Mediterranean, which helped build up the city of Venice, Finally Married (their sons and daughters) into the Powerful Guelph (Welf) Dynasty of Germany and North Italy, and they sent their money to Switzerland, Holland and England so that they could easily cross the Atlantic and take over the Newly found American Continents.
The Venetians (Welf and other Dynasties) were a Financial and Advisory power behind the Protestant Reformation as well as the Jesuit Counter-Reformation (Divide and Rule) as well as behind the Rise of Isaac Newton and the Fall of Gottfried Liebniz.

How the Dead Souls of Venice Corrupted Science
" We can approach these Venetian dead souls in three groups. First there is the group around Pietro Pomponazzi, Gasparo Contarini, and Francesco Zorzi, who were active in the first part of the 1500s. Second, there is the group of Paolo Sarpi and his right-hand man Fulgenzio Micanzio, the case officers for Galileo Galilei. This was the group that opposed Johannes Kepler in the early 1600s. Third, we have the group around Antonio Conti and Giammaria Ortes in the early 1700s. This was the group that created the Newton myth and modern materialism or utilitarianism and combated Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz. These three groups of Venetian gamemasters are responsible for a great deal of the obscurantism and garbage that weighs like a nightmare on the brain of humanity today. These Venetian intelligence officials are the original atheists and materialists of the modern world, as reflected in the sympathy of Soviet writers for figures like Galileo, Newton, and Voltaire as ancestors of what was later called dialectical materialism.
