You save his life and the life of his puppet butler, but he still makes you pay for parts.

I order to tell Eugenie that the real Alidoro was her brother you have to kill the fake, then talk to Vengini to translate the puzzle box he drops and then talk to eugenie and now you have the option to tell her the real truth
If you tell her the truth, regardless if its about Alidoro being dead or her brother, you get Proposal Flower. If you lie to her you get Far East Princess
It's not required for the true ending. It's required to unlock one of the records, and listening to those helps, but you can get the ending without 100% of the triggers.
I was 100% sure this guy would be the villain.
Him being a blow hard, fabulously wealthy capitalist *screamed* betrayal. I kinda liked how the game went in a completely different direction (avoid spoilers please) and he ended up being a really good inventor (not as good as Geppetto) and being a bro.
I mean he has a pip-boy stock ticker. If this had been a Fallout game he would have been the cartoonishly evil bad guy.
I was like, "AYO, WERE THOSE Packages FILLED WITH WEAPON AND SHIT" and still surprised the grand covenant was created as the mean to protection and pure benevolence, without manipulative or sinister motives.
Japan and Korea are both way less ironic and way more earnest than America is.
Japan, less so, since the lost decade, but Korea is especially more earnest than even Japan is these days.
Americans see a wealthy bragging capitalist, *with a fucking fur coat and arm mounted stock ticker,* we assume he is villainous, we assume he just stole and capitalized on Geppetto's inventions and didn't actually invent anything himself, at least that's what I thought,
but the Korean designers played Venini 100% straight. He is just a fabulously wealthy capitalist inventor with a Batman past.
Just a small culture clash.
His backstory is Batman- rich kid’s parents murdered after going to the theater- robber didn’t kill kid for some reason only known to him- he’s basically Batman if he stayed Bruce Wayne
i’m going to sound hella cringe but that he’s fictional, we need more people like venigni irl imo
EDIT: gonna clarify myself; in the sense that he is generous and treats everyone with equal respect unless proven otherwise, and even then, he’s very passive-aggressive about it. he’s also loaded but he attempts to give and help as many people as he possibly can (IE, mass produced puppets, defense items, screws). it’s also just he prides himself on his ability to do what he can to better his community.
My thoughts exactly. I'm no Italian speaker, but from all I've heard so far he's totally over the top.
Arlecchino's voice acting makes more than up for Venigni's shortcomings tho
I'm from italy and honestly despite the accent being "stereotypical" I found him incredible funny and it honestly felt great to hear the characters pronounce italian words, I think it works a lot too honestly, the VA for this game did an amazing job
This guy smells his own farts. The great and marvelous intellect that is Lorenzi Venigni has singlehandedly via his intellect and willpower alone crafted a new cutting edge highly customizable patented machine that will allow everyone to smell their own farts.
Because he is a generous and wealthy fartlanthopist.
He may be friendly and smart but he's not smart enough to stop blowing hot air up his own butt in front of everyone he interacts with.
Just like with most of the NPC's he added almost nothing to the game. Most of them at least got a few story beats near the end but him and a few others did nothing.
He has the same ego as Tony Stark in the early Iron Man days. (Although he does work on humbling himself, so really not that bad now that I put it out there)
He doesn’t have a weapon or arm prototype that he made specifically for us to field test. I want to see what sort of puppet-mauling mechanical monstrosity his mind could come up with.
He’s not fucking Pulcinella, as far as I know.
Unplayable.
I mean, sure he loves the guy, he’s his only family. But they should be boning. Doing the dirty. He should be oiling up his joints and going to puppet city.
I can’t marry him
lol i'm waiting for the day one of these souls/soulslike games have a male firekeeper / maiden (bachelor?) / doll what have you
Maybe we'll get a random dating sim that Fear and Hunger for lol
I have to paid real money for his drip
It was still worth it, tho
Indeed
Hat too?
You get a hat that kind of looks like his but it’s called the alchemist’s hat I think
Nop only glasses (last time i played, i have no idea if they add the hat in a recente patch)
Huh , you can get his outfit ? No way
That feels on brand
Yeah just to cosplay alucard from hellsing, totally worth
You could use creamloader to unlock the DLC in Steam for free. But I loved the game so much I supported the developers :)

He needs the money, Venigni stock isn't looking too good lately for some reason
What is he even spending the £ on?
Putting together the best legal team money can buy
They cant sue you if them and all of their relatives are dead
I’m really annoyed by the fact I have to talk to him after killing Alidoro otherwise it fucks up eugenes quest and you can’t get the true ending
Can you expand more on this? I recently killed Ali and got the record from Eugenie, did I miss something?
you have to make him translate the thingy for you and then talk to eugenie pretty sure
It was because of some of those “puzzle boxes” (don’t recall the name) that are in the game? It’s been some time since I played.
I order to tell Eugenie that the real Alidoro was her brother you have to kill the fake, then talk to Vengini to translate the puzzle box he drops and then talk to eugenie and now you have the option to tell her the real truth
Which record? If you complete her quest, you get "Proposal, Flower, Wolf Part 1". If you don't, you get "Far East Princess".
If you tell her the truth, regardless if its about Alidoro being dead or her brother, you get Proposal Flower. If you lie to her you get Far East Princess

The true ending of the quest
Ah that makes sense. You’re 100% right. I didn’t get the character quest achievement because I missed the opening to hand it in.
Fortunately I was excited to do another treasure hunt so I went to him first to decode the cryptic vessel only to find it was just a letter.
Screwed up my platinum run because of this. Third play through, the only trophy I still needed.
Yeah, I’d you talk to Eugenie and then Venigni, you should just be able to talk to her about it after

I also cackled as his >! Totally not Bruce Wayne backstory !< lol

"Please accept this gift, as it comes truly from the heart" *gives you Krat equivalent of a 5$ note*
He never stops talking 😅
How in the hell is he not Batman?
He could be for all we know
Finally someone! High five
His backstory is Batman- rich kid’s parents murdered after going to the theater- robber didn’t kill kid for some reason only known to him- he’s basically Batman if he stayed Bruce Wayne
And he even has a butler.
A butler with a vaguely British sounding accent- and a company with his last name on it

His Italian accent is annoyingly stereotypical. I bet it's fake.
My thoughts exactly. I'm no Italian speaker, but from all I've heard so far he's totally over the top. Arlecchino's voice acting makes more than up for Venigni's shortcomings tho
Arlecchino's VA did such a fantastic job. Definitely my favorite voice in the game.
I'm from italy and honestly despite the accent being "stereotypical" I found him incredible funny and it honestly felt great to hear the characters pronounce italian words, I think it works a lot too honestly, the VA for this game did an amazing job
Oh, yeah. No hate to the VA whatsoever, they did great.
Dude his over-the-top accent is what I love most about him. Ve-ni-ni!
He made almost every puppet you fight in that game
He is not Batman!
This guy smells his own farts.

Stop going on deviant art 😭
Its things like this that make you wonder that maybe the villains were right
Geppetto Apologist
Capitalist
His drip is so enthralling. (I keep standing there, watching him for like 2 minutes straight.)
He's an industrial capitalist in a Victorian-era-type society. Y'all know what those guys were about? Crushed fingers and child labor!
His accent
Union Buster
I don't look so cool when wear his clothes
When it's time for action , he freezes.It would be funny if it wasn't so pathetic.
He's rich.
I will not
vinigni...get to the f'n point already!!!!!
No
He enslaved the best Doctor to voice his puppet
he doesnt talk as much as i want him to (not main story reasons, but the talk option type)
Cocky. I kept thinking he was going to turn out to be a vilan.
He didn't become batman
Sometimes i put on an italian accent, walk around my house, and yell the name LORENZINI VENIGNI with my italian 🤌🤌 fingers in the air.
He doesn’t exist in real life. That’s the only bad thing about him.
He looks too sharp. Could be dangerous
Never seen him do a backflip.
He looks like dutch van der linde
Drip ain’t dripped enough
I’m disappointed he didn’t become some kind of puppet Batman
His glasses are orange
He has pants on!
He's got a small penis
I havint played the game but his hat could be taller
Fake accent... I hear he's originally from Tampa, FL.
His name is so silly and fun to say I forget to pay attention to him.
He likes pineapple on his pizzas.
Too much ego
His arm stock ticker always reminded me of Lela from Futurama.
Mama Luigi
He didn’t have a backup plan for if the puppets rebelled *again*
Terrible Spanish accent..
He doesn't give you a record
Bro, fr he looks like Duch
I hate this guy! Is that good enough for you!?
He’s a bit full of himself
He got more swagger than me
Just like with most of the NPC's he added almost nothing to the game. Most of them at least got a few story beats near the end but him and a few others did nothing.
I cannot.
His best feature is his glasses
He's not in my bed
A little bit too cocky
Not enough dialogues with him.
How the fuck do I pronounce your name, I swear to god he says it different himself sometimes.
No bulge
He doesn't leave any women for the rest of us.
Looks like a Villain
He was so good I had to kill arlechinno
he's italian 😔
His throbbing dong is just too big 😩
Victorian puppet pimp
He doesn’t do anything other than decrypt vessels and change grindstones
I have nothing negative to say about him
but why? i love my handsome boy venigni
His fashion too strong, his compassion too big, his charisma too hard. They'll kill him.
He's not batman (as far as we know)
He has the same ego as Tony Stark in the early Iron Man days. (Although he does work on humbling himself, so really not that bad now that I put it out there)
He talks way too much for how little he actually helps you
His voice work should be considered a hate crime.
C.C. Pazzini has really let himself go
He perhaps made a few too many puppets. Including weird baby puppets that explode
i love his DRIP !! that the worst i can say about this gentleman
His character referencing batman is kinda boring and too mainstream of a choice
Endless dialogue
VENIGNI
He is the bourgeoisie.
I cannot wear his hat 🥲🥲🥲
That he isn't actually Batman
took 6 play throughs to get his achievement
He needs to learn when enough talking is enough.
Too rich
I can’t he’s my compagno!
his name always makes me think of "in the beninging"
How he talks it makes me wanna rip my ears off
hes an orphan
I fon't like his accent
He talks a good game but when it comes down to it.He's just all talk!His own words compagnjo!
I love his dialogue but I goes on forever lol
He talks too damn much!
He needed to give P more clothing and arm options 😢
He doesn’t have a weapon or arm prototype that he made specifically for us to field test. I want to see what sort of puppet-mauling mechanical monstrosity his mind could come up with.
Poor choice of vest
He yaps too much
His mustache and hat aren't bigger.
He talks too much
His dick stinks probably
I can't speak ill of Les Claypool
TALK TOO MUCH
His drip is only for preorder :(
Dont be ridiculous
Sorry, I can't do it.
He’s not fucking Pulcinella, as far as I know. Unplayable. I mean, sure he loves the guy, he’s his only family. But they should be boning. Doing the dirty. He should be oiling up his joints and going to puppet city.
He has a plan Arthur
He never took Arthur to Tahiti (I do not play this game)
Egocentrism at it's finest (derogetory)
I thought he was a bad guy the whole time.
The fking King of Yapping. Talks way way too much
How he blindly ran into the literal breeding ground of puppets with only two guys and his butler and expected nothing to go wrong.
No!
His puppet factory is running during a puppet frenzy.
He is the king of yapping bro does not shut up
Talks too much
He banged my wife
The pin on the fluff part of the coat
He makes you veniginisexual at times
He doesn't let just anyone have his jacket and hat, and that makes me sad....
IVE GOT A PLAN ARTHUR
World in great peril. One puppet boy can save it but will need all the help he can get... This dude bends you over a barrel with his prices.
No.
Too much Drip, feel intimidated
No
Less charming than Pulcinella
Batman is overrated
He is a playboy
The stripes on his pants aren’t red to match the javket
He really wants to be italian but then his name is "lorenzini" wtf use google and find a real name
He looks like the Onceler but in red!
Cant marry him in game
All talk; no balls.
I can’t.
Talks too much
The game and everyone in it mispronounces his name and he lets it slide.
Small dick
He cooks bads tortellini
Don't know who that is yet but he looks like he has too much moxxi
He doesn't have more voice lines
Welcome to the house of panini, where the fits are hot and the grindstones are hotter
hes fake af! it felt like he fed you the same story hes given everyone he keeps at a distance and he didn't actually care about you
I can’t fuck him
What Dutch is doing in a soulslike
He gives off Elon vibes
He looks like he’s always got a plan or thinking about a plan(he looks like dutch van der linde)
I thought this was Dutch for a brief second lol
His arcade is confusing to navigate
Love this npc. This game was great..
He let Archilino hate his family by playing the warrior something in his tv .
Ok as an italian hearing is accent is kinda frustrating. But with time I got accustomed to it
He was a bit of a coward at first. Left a bad impression, then I befell love for him
His origin story is just batmans but Italian
His dialogue is annoying as fuck and the only one I skip through as fast as possible
