Italy and the capital of the Veneto region It is built on a group of 118 small islands that are separated by canals and linked by over 400 bridges The islands are in the shallow Venetian Lagoon, an enclosed bay lying between the mouths of the Po and the Piave rivers (more exactly between the Brenta and the Sile) In 2020, 258,685 people resided in the Comune di Venezia, of whom around 55,000 live in the historical city of Venice (centro storico) Together with Padua and Treviso, the city is included in the Padua-Treviso-Venice Metropolitan Area (Patreve), which is considered a statistical metropolitan area, with a total population of 2.6 million Even those who have never set foot there, know the places that make the city of Venice famous all over the world: St Mark's Square, the Rialto Bridge, the Grand Canal But Venice is also something else There are entire areas of the historic city to explore, far from the places forced by tradition, where every corner hides wonders Off the beaten track, you'll be lucky enough to look at the city from a less conventional, more intimate, authentic and original point of view The best way to get to know the hidden soul of Venice, in fact, is to get lost in the streets and fields, explore the city slowly, preferably on board a traditional boat or on foot, and look at it with the eyes of those who live there, perhaps entering one of the many artisan shops to discover the stories of authentic Made in Venice, such as gondolas, glass, pearls, lace, typical sweets and fabrics But not only: Venice is part of a real archipelago of islands, each with a unique beauty, even the least known, such as Torcello, Sant'Erasmo, Mazzorbo, Lazzaretto Nuovo, Certosa, Vignole, Pellestrina, and many others You can discover these small islands with quiet walks in the villages, visit unusual museums and follow archaeological itineraries that tell of the origins of the Serenissima and its ancient history, or take short bike tours ideal for families with children For example, at the Lido of Venice and Pellestrina, in addition to the beaches, there are also beautiful protected natural areas that extend for dozens of hectares, between sea and lagoon, a true paradise for lovers of birdwatching and outdoor days The Venice of the mainland - Mestre and Forte Marghera - can reserve beautiful discoveries, such as the woods and green parks that can be visited with urban trekking itineraries, cycle paths and horse trails Even the visit of one of the ancient forts in defense of the city is an experience not to be missed to discover an unprecedented Venice, along a widespread route between the mainland and the islands of the lagoon, of extraordinary archaeological, architectural and naturalistic interest (Venice Ca' Farsetti Office, 2016) 1.1 History Origin and history According to legend, Venice was founded in 421 by Romans who fled the Goths However, there are no historical records of Venice's origins The city was probably formed from the mass entry of refugees and the po estuary marshlands that followed 1 the devastating invasion of northeastern Italy beginning by Quadi and Marcomanni in 166-168, who devastated the main central area in this area, It's Oderzo now The Roman resistance was overthrown in the early 5th century by the Visigoths and, about 50 years later, by the Huns led by Attila The last and longest invasion was by the Lombards in 568: this time left the Eastern Roman Empire a small strip of land along the coast of what is now Veneto, and the administrative and religious institutions were thus transferred to this remaining parish New ports were built, including those in Malamocco and Torcello in the Venetian Lagoon region Byzantine dominance in central and northern Italy was largely wiped out by the conquest of Ravenna's Exarchate (exarchate was a province of the Byxantine Empire, located far from Constantinople) in 751 by Aistulf During this period the local Byzantine governor (the "duke", later "doge") was stationed in Malamocco: the settlement on the islands in the lagoon probably increased accordingly in proportion to lombard's conquest of the Byzantine territories In 775-776 the position of pastor of Olivolo (Helibolis) was created During the reign of Duke Agnello Particiaco (811-827) where the garrison duke was moved from Malamocco to the best protected place was the island of Rialto (Rivoalto, "High Shore"), the present site of Venice The monastery of St Zachary was built, the first duke's palace and st Mark's church, as well as a defensive wall (civitatis murus) between Olivolo and Rialto In 828 the city's popularity was increased because the relics (forcibly taken from Alexander) were placed in the newly built church of St Mark Church power was also transferred to the Rialto As the community continued to grow and Byzantine power dwindled, an anti-Eastern ethos grew, leading to the development of independence and eventually independence Expand From the 9th to the 12th centuries Venice developed into a city-state (an Italian thalassocracy or Repubblica Marinara, and three similar cities were Genoa, Pisa and Amalfi) The strategic location at the head of the Adriatic Sea that brought venice's naval and economic strengths is indisputable The city became a thriving center of trade between Western Europe and the rest of the world (especially the Byzantine Empire and the Islamic world) In the 12th century the important things for Venice's strengths were built: The Venetian ammunition depot was started in 1104; Venice acquired control of the Brenner Pass from Verona in 1178, opening up a lifeline for silver from Germany; The last doge (governor-general) of the aristocracy, Vitale Michiele, died in 1172 The Venetian Republic occupied the eastern shores of the Adriatic Sea before 1200, mainly for commercial reasons, because pirates stationed in that area were a threat to trade The Doge, at the time, was the Duke of Dalmatia and the Duke of Istria The later-owned lands, stretching from Lake Garda to as far west as the Adda River, known as "Terraferma", were partially occupied as a buffer zone against the surrounding dangerous waters, partly securing trade routes through the Alps, and partly securing the supply of wheat from the continent, That the city has to rely on In building into a maritime empire, the republic took control of most of the islands in the Égée Sea, including Kypros and Crete, and became a dominant power driver in the Near East By the standards of the time, Venice's control of its continental lands was relatively bright citizens of cities such as Bergamo, Brescia and Verona who rebelled to defend Venice's sovereignty when threatened by invaders 2 Venice became an empire after the 4th Crusade, a war that thanks to the involvement of Venice of Constantinople poured in 1204 to establish the Latin Empire; Venice itself created an influential region called the Duchy of the Archipelago Unfortunately, the colonization of Constantinople eventually proved to be the end of the Byzantine Empire as well as the fall of the Anatolian style that followed Manzikert Although the Greeks retook the devastated city and the Empire half a century later, the Byzantine Empire was in fact powerless, and existed as a ghost on its former part until the Subcontinent Mehmet the Conqueror occupied the city in 1453 Many of the things that were taken during the war were brought back to Venice, including the winged Lion of St Mark, a symbol of Venice Only Venetian ships could effectively transport people, supplies and especially war horses Venice began to lose its position as a center of international trade after the end of the Renaissance Nevertheless, the Venetian Empire was a major exporter of agricultural products and, until the mid-18th century, a center of production Modern Venice After 1070 years, the Republic lost its autonomy when Napoleon Bonaparte, on 12 May 1797, conquered Venice in the First Campaign of Alliance The French conquistador ended the city's most monumental century in its history: it was during the Settecento period (1700s) that Venice became perhaps the most magnificent city in Europe, greatly influencing art, architecture, and literature Napoleon was seen as a liberator by the city's Jews, although nowhere else in Italy had they lived through centuries had fewer limits than Venice He demolished the gates of the Ghetto and ended restrictions on where and when Jews could live and travel in the city Venice became part of Austria when Napoleon signed the Treaty of Campo Formio on 12 October 1797 The Austrians occupied the city on 18 January 1798 It was taken out of Austria by the Treaty of Pressburg in 1805 and became part of napoleon's Italian Kingdom, but was returned to Austria after Napoleon's defeat in 1814, when it became part of the Austrian-controlled Kingdom of Lombardy- Venetia In 1848-1849 a revolution reestablished the Republic of Venice in a short time In1866, following the Six-Week War, Venice, along with the rest of Venetia, became part of Italy Since 1797, the city has deteriorated severely, with many ancient mansions and other buildings abandoned and falling into irreparable status, although the Lido became a popular tourist beach in the 19th century In the 20th century, the extraction of water from the aquifers caused Venise to sink gradually The sinking process has slowed markedly since wells were banned in the 1960s However, the city is still threatened by frequent low-level flooding (acqua alta, "high water") which causes water levels to rise to a height of about a few centimeters higher than the city's wharves, which often occur due to tides Studies indicate that the city continues to sink at a relatively slow rate of 1222 mm per year 1.2 Geography Venice sits atop alluvial silt washed into the sea by the rivers flowing eastward from the alps across the Veneto plain, with the silt being stretched into long banks, or lidi, by the action of the current flowing around the head of the Adriatic Sea from east to west 3 Figure 1.3 Venice viewed from the International Space Station Subsidence Subsidence, the gradual lowering of the surface of Venice, has contributed—along with other factors—to the seasonal Acqua alta ("high water") when much of the city's surface is occasionally covered at high tide Building foundations Those fleeing barbarian invasions who found refuge on the sandy islands of Torcello, Iesolo, and Malamocco, in this coastal lagoon, learned to build by driving closely spaced piles consisting of the trunks of alder trees, a wood noted for its water resistance, into the mud and sand, until they reached a much harder layer of compressed clay Building foundations rested on plates of Istrian limestone placed on top of the piles Flooding Between autumn and early spring, the city is often threatened by flood tides pushing in from the Adriatic Six hundred years ago, Venetians protected themselves from land-based attacks by diverting all the major rivers flowing into the lagoon and thus preventing sediment from filling the area around the city This created an ever- deeper lagoon environment Additionally, the lowest part of Venice, St Mark's Basilica, is only 64 centimetres (25 in) above sea level, and one of the most flood- prone parts of the city During the 20th century, when many artesian wells were sunk into the periphery of the lagoon to draw water for local industry, Venice began to subside It was realized that extraction of water from the aquifer was the cause The sinking has slowed markedly since artesian wells were banned in the 1960s However, the city is still threatened by more frequent low-level floods—the Acqua alta, that rise to a height of several centimetres over its quays—regularly following certain tides In many old houses, staircases once used to unload goods are now flooded, rendering the former ground floor uninhabitable Studies indicate that the city continues sinking at a relatively slow rate of 1–2 mm per annum; therefore, the state of alert has not been revoked The government of Italy committed to providing 20 million euros in funding to help the city repair the most urgent aspects although Brugnaro's estimate of the total damage was "hundreds of millions" to at least 1 billion euros On 3 October 2020, the MOSE was activated for the first time in response to a predicted high tide event, preventing some of the low-lying parts of the city (in particular the Piazza San Marco) from being flooded 1.3 Demographic The city was one of the largest in Europe in the High Middle Ages, with a population of 60,000 in AD 1000; 80,000 in 1200; and rising up to 110,000– 180,000 in 1300 In the mid-1500s the city's population was 170,000, and by 1600 it approached 200,000 4 In 2009, there were 270,098 people residing in the Comune of Venice (the population estimate of 272,000 inhabitants includes around 60,000 in the historic city of Venice (Centro storico), 176,000 in Terraferma (the mainland); and 31,000 on other islands in the lagoon); 47.4% were male and 52.6% were female Minors (ages 18 and younger) were 14.36% of the population compared to pensioners who numbered 25.7% This compared with the Italian average of 18.06% and 19.94%, respectively The average age of Venice residents was 46 compared to the Italian average of 42 In the five years between 2002 and 2007, the population of Venice declined by 0.2%, while Italy as a whole grew by 3.85% The population in the historic old city declined much faster: from about 120,000 in 1980 to about 60,000 in 2009 and to below 55,000 in 2016 As of 2018, 86% of the population was Italian The largest immigrant groups include: 5,934 (2.3%) Bangladeshis, 5,578 (2.1%) Romanians, 4,460 (1.7%) Moldovans, 3,351 (1.3%) Chinese, and 2,511 (1%) Ukrainians Venice is predominantly Roman Catholic (85.0% of the resident population in the area of the Patriarchate of Venice in 2018 ), but because of the long-standing relationship with Constantinople, there is also a noticeable Orthodox presence; and as a result of immigration, there is now a large Muslim community (about 25,000 or 9.5% of city population in 2018 and some Hindu, and Buddhist inhabitants Since 1991, the Church of San Giorgio dei Greci in Venice has become the see of the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of Italy and Malta and Exarchate of Southern Europe, a Byzantine-rite diocese under the Ecumenical Patriarchate of Constantinople There is also a historic Jewish community in Venice The Venetian Ghetto was the area in which Jews were compelled to live under the Venetian Republic The word ghetto (ghèto), originally Venetian, is now found in many languages Shakespeare's play The Merchant of Venice, written in the late 16th century, features Shylock, a Venetian Jew The first complete and uncensored printed edition of the Talmud was printed in Venice by Daniel Bomberg in 1523 During World War II, Jews were rounded up in Venice and deported to extermination camps Since the end of the war, the Jewish population of Venice has declined from 1500 to about 500 Only around 30 Jews live in the former ghetto, which houses the city's major Jewish institutions In modern times, Venice has an eruv, used by the Jewish community 1.4 Government Local and regional government The legislative body of the Comune is the City Council (Consiglio Comunale), which is composed of 36 councillors elected every five years with a proportional system, contextually to the mayoral elections The executive body is the City Administration (Giunta Comunale), composed of 12 assessors nominated and presided over by a directly elected Mayor Venice was governed by centre-left parties from the early 1990s until the 2010s, when the Mayor started to be elected directly Its region, Veneto, has long been a conservative stronghold, with the coalition between the regionalist Lega Nord and the centre-right Forza Italia winning absolute majorities of the electorate in many elections at local, national, and regional levels The current Mayor of Venice is Luigi Brugnaro, a centre-right independent businessman who is currently serving his second term in office 5
