Venezia. The origin of Venice dates back to the mid 400’s, more than 1500 years ago. Its foundation was the result of a flight of the people living in the Veneto terra firma: as a consequence of the Barbarian invasion from northern and eastern Europe following the Roman Empire’s decline, they escaped towards the nearby archipelago. Venice Republic was the biggest power of the Mediterranean from the 1300’s to the 1500’s. Its territories embraced a large area in the Eastern Mediterranean, encompassing the terra firma that is the current Veneto and Friuli, today’s Croatian Histria and Dalmatia with its islands, and part of the Greek Isles. The fall of the Republic of Venice occurred in 1797, when the Serenissima yielded to the military campaigns of Napoleon in Italy. With the Campoformio Treaty, Venice and the Veneto, plus Histria and Dalmatia, were relinquished to the Austrian Empire, which ruled over them for 60 years.
