Province of Venice, Former province in Veneto, Italy.
Description
The Province of Venice was a former administrative territory in the Veneto region that extended along the Adriatic coast and encompassed 44 municipalities. The territory combined the islands of the Venetian lagoon with mainland areas and was served by waterways, rail connections, and an international airport.
History
The territory formed in 1866 when Venice joined the Kingdom of Italy, ending centuries of independence as the Venetian Republic. The province maintained its administrative authority over the lagoon and mainland until it was dissolved in 2014.
Culture
The region blends maritime traditions of coastal communities with agricultural practices of inland areas, creating a network of trade and social connections. The lagoon and mainland form together a cultural unit where water-based and land-based ways of life influence each other.
Practical
Visiting these areas is most pleasant in warmer months when water and weather are stable and exploration of coastal settlements and islands becomes easier. Access is provided through established transport like trains, buses, and ferries that connect the various towns and the main city.
Did you know?
The area managed modern waterway systems for the lagoon and traditional agricultural zones on the mainland within a single administrative structure. This dual nature made it a rare example of governance that connected two entirely different economic and geographic worlds.
