Veneto, a beautiful Italian region

The name derives from the denomination of Venetia attributed by Romans to the 10th imperial region inhabited by ancient people of Venetos.

The first human settlements didn't change the territory organization very much, only when the Romans came in II century b.C.. They divided all the fertile land in pieces of circa 4800 sq.m. and distributed them as a property between the families of the colony. Romans founded the cities of Verona, Vicenza and Padova and enforced the communication system. Region had a particular importance because of its strategic position at the east of the empire. During the Middle Ages the chaos caused by the decline of the empire and barbaric invasions suspended the reorganization of the territory for many centuries. In course of this period the population migrated to the sea costs and its islands. This is how Venice was born, destined to become the most important city since IX century, with its great political, commercial and navy powers.

From XIII century in numerous provinces and especially in Trevigiano was given a start to breeding of silkworms (imported from China) and cultivation of mulberry. In XV century, being in the most of the blooming periods of its history, Venice provided grandiose works of arrangement of its lagoon. In the last decades of XIX century and especially in the first half of the XX century was begun the new reorganization work: with the opening of the Suez Canal the port of Venice had got again a big importance, which gave the new commercial role to the Mediterranean Sea; foreign investments that permitted to create the industrial infrastructure in Porto Marghera; improvement of communications which allowed to reinforce the contacts with the adjoining Lombardy; development of the industrial bas along the main communication ways; blooming of tourism.

The territory of the region is divided into seven provinces: Venezia, Belluno, Padua, Rovigo, Treviso, Verona and Vicenza, including 582 communes.
