Province of Venice

The Province of Venice extended along the Adriatic coast and encompassed 44 municipalities, including the islands of the Venetian lagoon and mainland territories.

The province originated in 1866 when Venice joined the Kingdom of Italy, marking the end of centuries of independence as the Republic of Venice.

The territory combined maritime traditions of coastal settlements with agricultural practices of inland communities, forming a network of commercial and social exchanges.

The province connected major transport routes between northern Italy and eastern Europe through its network of waterways, railways, and the international airport.

The administrative division maintained authority over both water-based communities in the lagoon and agricultural settlements on terra firma until 2014.
