History Sneak Peek

Venice is not Italy's oldest city but, without a doubt, one of the most unusual ones - even by international standards. Better yet, this uniqueness can be traced all the way to its origins. In the Roman age, mostly poor fishermen inhabited the marshy Venetian lagoon. However, it wasn't until the 5th century AD the things got interesting. The seclusion of the islands from the mainland Italy seemed like a big plus during Attilas barbaric invasions of Italy. The lagoon became a comfy refuge and soon flourished into a buzzing city. Its name is derived from the Veneti people who once inhabited the present day Veneto region.


Thanks to its strategic position in the Mediterranean, Venice became a trading hub, thriving, especially, from the import of silk and spices from the Orient. Venice was not only unique for its architecture but also for having an elected Doge of Venice. Also, Saint Mark became the patron of the city after the Evangelist brought his relics from Alexandria.


All was well until the luck turned its back on Venice! Plague rummaged in the streets, depleting its population. Moreover, Spanish and Portuguese discoveries of new continents took away Venice's strategic importance in sea trade. However, even after the loss of political importance, the city survived and its art flourished.


This is truly just a sneak peek, Venice has more stories to tell. You better get there fast! Although we know Venice as The Floating City, its actually sinking few inches each year. Five times faster than originally predicted! Therefore, stop postponing your visit and book your Florence to Venice tours today!
