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.

Guestbook
Acabamos de llegar de Venecia. Hemos estado en Ca' San Lio durante una semana y el apartamento, tal como aparece descrito, es fantástico, està en pleno centro, cercano a todos los "sestiere" de Venecia a los que se puede ir andando traquilamente.A pesar de estar en pleno centro es un apartamento muy tranquilo, no se oye nada del bullicio exterior, y el interior es tan bonito como aparece en las fotos, muy amplio, bien decorado,provisto con todo lo necesario para una estancia agradable y con aire acondicionado. Practicamente al lado hay un supermercado con precios muy buenos, dado el nivel de Venecia, que es una ciudad muy, muy cara. Además hay restaurants, heladerias, panaderias, en fin, práctico en todos los sentidos. Los propietarios muy amables, no tuvimos ningun problema ni antes del viaje ni a la llegada; dispuestos a informarte de todo lo necesario. En resumen,altamente recomendable. Si mi famialia y yo volvemos a Venecia, no dudaríamos en volver a Ca' San Lio. Hemos pasado 7 dias maravillosos. (Mrs Isabel C.)
Formidable. Appartement extrememnt calme, vaste, impeccable, entièrement rénové et joliment décoré, idéalement sitiué, propriétaires adorables. (Mrs Laurence B.)
El apartamento tiene una localización excellente, muy próxima a Rialto y la plaza de S. Marcos. Es una zona con mucho ambiente y todo tipo de servicos en la misma calle (supermercado, panaderia, carniceria, etc). El piso resulta muy comfortable para 5 personas, está muy limpio y muestra un equipamiento adecuado. No hay ruidos y con el aire acondicionado se está muy comodos. Paolo, la persona que te recibe es muy amable y está a disposición si surge algún problema. La valoración del apartamento es muy positiva y se lo recomiendo a cualquier persona que desee visitar Venecia. (Mrs Carmen P.)
The accommodation is just as it is advertised. Being a fussy person when it comes to accommodation, I was pleasantly surprised at how much we felt comfortable and at home from the first day. The apartment was very clean. Well decorated in Venetian style. Quiet despite being in a central location. There were lots of nearby shops and restaurants. The walk to the Rialto boat stop or San Marco square took only a few minutes. We had no problems keeping our toddler safe and happy in the apartment. One thing we didn't realise was that there is no door between the two rooms with the single beds so our toddler woke up our friend a few hours too early during our holiday! The owner speaks good English. He was very friendly and considerate during our stay. When we had a minor problem, he was easily contactable and immediately arranged to come by to fix the problem. We couldn't have asked for better treatment. I would definitely recommend the apartment to anyone going to Venice! (Mrs Ramona H.)
Appartement propre, comfortable, lumineux, très calme et remarquablement situé, à deux pas de la place San Marco et du Rialto, dans une rue très commerçante avec super marché, boulanger, boucher etc... Le soleil étant très présent à Venise nous avons apprécié la climatisation. Paolo, ponctuel au rendez-vous est très disponible, il parle français et nous a donné plein de renseignements utiles. Francesca, très présente sait, en cas de besoin, répondre très rapidement et avec efficacité aux demandes. Nous ne pouvons que recommander cette location et si nous retournons à Venise l'an prochain, c'est là que nous logerons. La position centrale de l'appartement permet de rentrer soit pour déjeuner, soit pour se reposer un moment. A quelques mètres de là, les propriétaires ont un hôtel où l'on peut facilement les joindre. Cet hôtel dispose d'ailleurs de belles chambres comfortables,bien décorées et très propres. (Mr Jean-Claude D.)
L' accueil est trés agréable. Paolo est au rendez vous. L'appartement est spacieux et comfortable. Il n'y a pas de bruit alors qu'il est en plein centre. (Mrs Laure P.)
We have just returned from staying in this apartment, the Ca San Lio, and can highly recommend it. The apartment could not be more centrally located, situated approximately half way between St. Mark’s Square and the Rialto, both destinations being just a few minutes walk away. Also, a few yards away from the apartment, there was a large well stocked supermarket, a bakery, a fresh fruit and veg shop, and also one of the best ice cream parlours in Venice, (according to Paolo). The ice cream was certainly delicious. Having all these facilities on the doorstep, particularly the supermarket, is a great advantage for self caterers! There were three us staying in the apartment, and we found it to be really quiet, clean and thoughtfully decorated. The kitchen was well supplied with all necessary equipment and utensils, but above all, we found the apartment was delightfully spacious! (Space is quite a rarity, I should imagine, in the Venice rental market, unless you are prepared to pay much more money for it). The apartment also had a separate WC in addition to the one in the bathroom, which is another advantage. Paolo, whose family own the apartment, spoke excellent English, and was extremely courteous, charming and helpful throughout our stay. It was also comforting to know that Paolo could be easily contacted via his mobile or via the hotel opposite, if there had been any unforeseen problems. (Mrs Sarah E.)
Nous avons adoré notre séjour dans ce splendide appartement situé en plein coeur de Venise, entre le pont Rialto et la place St-Marc. Cette situation parfaite a fait en sorte qu'il était facile de revenir y manger et s'y reposer le midi. L'appartement est spacieux, meublé et décoré avec beaucoup de goût et aussi fort ensoleillé malgré sa situation au premier étage. Comme il est situé à l'arrière de l'immeuble c'était très calme et le matin on avait le bonheur de se réveiller avec l'odeur de la pâtisserie voisine. Paolo nous a accueilli fort chaleureusement et s'est montré d'une grande disponibilité pour faciliter notre séjour. Merci Paolo! (Mrs Diane L.)
