Veneto, Italy

Veneto Italy

Veneto was part of the Roman Empire until the 5th century AD. After a feudal period, it became part of the Republic of Venice, which lasted until 1797. For centuries, Venice ruled one of the largest and wealthiest maritime republics and trading empires in the world. Following the Napoleonic Wars and the Congress of Vienna, the former republic was annexed by the Austrian Empire, and remained under Austrian rule until it was incorporated into the Kingdom of Italy in 1866, after the Third Italian War of Independence. In addition to Italian, most residents also speak Venetian, which is divided into five main varieties.
