Venice is not oldest city in Italy but is surely is one of the most exquisite ones, by national as well as international standards. Its uniqueness can be traced all the way to its roots.
The marshy lagoon on which Venice stands has been inhabited by fisherman since the Roman ages. However, the things didn't get interesting until the 5th century AD. That is when the distance of the islands from the mainland Italy provided a shelter during Attilas barbaric invasions. The small lagoon became a safe refuge and soon grew into a thriving city. Subsequently, due to city's strategic location in the Mediterranean, Venice became a crucial trading center, thriving from the import of spices and silk from the Orient.
Venice wasn't special just for its architecture but also for electing its Doge of Venice! Saint Mark became the official patron of the city when the Evangelist took his relics from Alexandria and brought them over.
However, during Middle Ages, luck turned its back on Venice. The town fell victim to the plague which depleted its population severely. Also, discoveries of new continents somewhat decreased Venice's strategic importance in terms of sea trade. However, even after Venice lost its political importance, the art flourished. Although never fully restoring its power, the city did well.
This is just a small sneak peek into all that you will learn and see on your tour.
