Venice is a city in northeast Italy made up of a group of 118 small islands separated by canals and linked by bridges. The city of Venice is in the Venetian Lagoon which is an enclosed bay of the Adriatic Sea.

Venice is renowned for the beauty of its setting, its architecture and its artworks. The city and lagoon are listed as a World Heritage Site. Venice has also been described as being one of Europe's most romantic cities.

While there are no historical records that deal directly with the origins of Venice, tradition and the available evidence have led several historians to agree that the original population of Venice consisted of refugees from Roman cities, the traditional founding is identified with the dedication of the first church, that of San Giacomo at the islet of Rialto, which is said to have been at the stroke of noon on 25 March 421.

The Republic of Venice was a major maritime power during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and a staging area for the Crusades, as well as a very important center of commerce (especially silk, grain, and spices) and art in the 13th century up to the end of the 17th century. This made Venice a wealthy city throughout most of its history.

It is also known for its several important artistic movements, especially the Renaissance period. Venice has played an important role in the history of symphonic and operatic music, and it is the birthplace of Antonio Vivaldi.
