The North East Italy / Veneto region

According to tradition, Venice was founded in 421 AD on April 25th, St.Mark's day, who is the patron saint of Venice. The most important village in the lagoon by that time is not Venice but Torcello, where in 639 the gorgeous Cathedral was built, and where many people are seeking refuge from barbarian invasions.

In Venice the Doges' government is established: the first historically known doge is Orso Ipato (in 726). The year 814 is the starting date of the construction of Palazzo Ducale (Doges' Palace) in what i s today St. Mark's Square. The Basilica St. Mark's instead was began in 834, but this first basilica went burnt down. Venice is spreading its commercial boundaries: in 1000 its fleet defeats the pirates of the Adriatic sea. Then Venice takes part to the Crusades, the war campaigns aimed to free Jerusalem. For Venice this is a business opportunity and expansion chance as well. Many works of art are taken to Venice as a booty: for instance, the four bronze horses of St. Mark's. The original bronzes can now be seen in St.Mark's museum, whilst the four horses on the Basilica's facade are perfect copies.

The journey of the Venetian merchant Marco Polo from Venice to China is one of the most fascinating true stories of Middle Ages (1271-95). His adventure and the meeting with Gengis Khan are told in the book 'Il Milione'. In 1348, Venice population is halved by the plague. In spite of this, Venice succeeds in becoming the leader of the 4 seapowers of Mediterranean Sea: the other ones were the Republics of Amalfi, Genoa and La Spezia. In 1489 Venice conquers the island of Cyprus. In 1516 the first Ghetto in the world is founded in Venice. Another great plague affects Italy in 1630, and for Serenissima Repubblica this is the beginning of the decadence. Giacomo Casanova is not a legend: he was born in 1725 in Venice. The myth of the irresistible seductor and lover told his story in the book 'Memorie di Giacomo Casanova'. Teatro La Fenice, which was destroyed by fire in 1996 and re-opened in 2004, was founded in 1790.

Repubblica Serenissima di Venezia, the Venetian Republic, was defeated by Napoleon in 1797 and it became a part of the Hapsburg Empire (Austria). Venetians attempt to free their land from the Hapsburg (1848). In 1860 the army of Giuseppe Garibaldi make it possible for Italy to become a nation under the reign of the Savoia dynasty; Venice will join Italy in 1866 after the 3rd Independence War. St. Mark's square bell tower collapses in 1902: there are photos and postcards of this impressive events, and they can be bought in Venice. The bell tower had to be re-built completely, in 1912, as we see it now. Fortunately, during the 2nd World War (1940-45), Venice was not bombed: both sides respected the most gorgeous city on earth. A flood in 1966 causes serious damages: water level reached 2 metres. In many churches and palaces they put a sign marking the reached water level.


After the Byzantine Empire split up in 1204, politically, Venice (Venezia) became the strongest European power in the Mediterranean region. As a means for nobles to obtain political dominance, a wealthy aristocracy soon grew. Originally Venice (Venezia) was a republic; however, by the 13th century, it became an oligarchy, with the rich Visconti family ruling the city.

Venice (Venezia) became one of four Repubbliche Marinare during the 13th and 14th century. Amalfi and Pisa were the first two to be formed, but were soon defeated, leaving Genoa as Venice (Venezia)’s main rival. Venice (Venezia) ended its rivalry with Genoa in 1353 after which Venice (Venezia) became the leading maritime power in the Christian war.

Venice (Venezia) started to decline with the beginning of the Turkish invasions in the middle of the 15th century. Foreign invaders, along with other Italian states followed, continuing the fall of Venetian power. The League of Cambrai in 1508, consisting of the Pope (Holy Roman Empire), France, and Spain, unified against Venice (Venezia) in order to gain the riches of Venice (Venezia). Venice (Venezia) eventually regained its Italian dominions in 1516; however, it never regained its political power.

Between 1797 and 1848, Venice (Venezia) was tossed back and forth between Austria and the French-controlled Kingdom of Austria, until finally in 1866, after the Seven Weeks’ War, it became part of Italy’s newly established kingdom.

The Venice, Veneto / Central Venice area

Venice has been known as the "Queen of the Adriatic", "City of Water", "City of Bridges", and "The City of Light". The city stretches across 110 small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy. The saltwater lagoon stretches along the shoreline between the mouths of the Po (south) and the Piave (north) Rivers. The Venetian Republic was a major maritime power and a staging area for the Fourth Crusade, as well as a very important centre of commerce (especially silk, grain and spice trade) and art in the Renaissance and up to the end of the 17th century.
