Brief history of Venice. The keys to Venice's economic domination of Italy in the Middle Ages were the insularity and naval ease of the Venetians, which had grown steadily for more than a millennium. The region at the north-west end of the Adriatic Sea, where several rivers from the Alps flow, has been inhabited since Antiquity by fishermen, sailors and salt workers. This area was part of region X created by Auguste. This region was then named Venetia after the Venetians, an ancient Italic people integrated into the Roman Republic from the 2nd century BC. J-C; Aquileia - on dry land - was the important religious and port center. The Gothic invasions of Alaric I and the Huns of Attila prompted local populations to take refuge in the marsh islands along the Adriatic Sea, near the Po Delta. According to the legend developed later by the Venetians to demonstrate the antiquity of their city and the distant origin of their freedom, Venice would have been founded on March 25, 421 in the islets of the rivus altus, which will become the Rialto. In 452, a first establishment was founded by refugees from Padua and Aquileia. The region later fell into the Ostrogothic kingdom and was then reconquered with the rest of Italy by General Bélisaire, becoming a province of the Eastern Roman Empire under Justinian I. The city of Venice was founded towards the end of the sixth century by inhabitants of neighboring regions, who came to take refuge in large numbers in the islands of the lagoon formed by the Po estuary after the invasion of northern Italy by the Lombards in 568. Indeed, this marshy area, difficult to access for keel vessels, had remained under the jurisdiction of the exarchate of Ravenna, province of the Eastern Roman Empire. It was therefore initially a refuge for Roman-Byzantine civilization, but as it developed, its autonomy increased to lead to independence. Taking advantage of the antagonism between the Ravenna exarchate and the Lombards, the Venetians widened their political leeway and acquired local power embodied by the first duke or "doge", Paolucio Anafesto (*******), character at the edge of legend and history. The city of Venice did not really become independent until after the withdrawal of the Byzantines from the Adriatic, shortly after the year 1000, when the kingdom of Hungary emerged. The city-state therefore relied on the sea to extend its power. Venice did not have its own constitution. In fact, the definition of powers and the mechanism of government institutions came under customary law in Venice. The governmental decision-making bodies formed a pyramid of which the People's Assembly was the base and the Doge the summit. Between the two sat the Grand Council, the Forty and the Senate, then the Ducal Council. This political organization, the features of which emerged in the 13th century, continued until 17974. The quadrupling of naval power in the first third of the 15th century made the Arsenal of Venice the largest factory in the world, employing up to 16,000 people, behind a 25-hectare secret enclosure. Naval activity is driven by the dynamism of the Venetian business district. The salt trade, then the commercial expansion towards the Eastern Mediterranean, led to a strong growth of the city. After the 4th crusade, which Venice diverted to Constantinople, the Republic seized the riches of the Byzantine Empire and constituted its own maritime empire made up of most of the Greek and Dalmatian islands. It completes it by conquering continental Dalmatia, Istria and a vast area between the Alps and the Po Tourist License / Licencia de turismo N °: IT027042B44QVNEAP4
