Venetia
Venetia is a name used mostly in a historical context for the area of north-eastern
Italy formerly under the control of the city of
Venice and corresponding approximately to the present-day Italian administrative regions of the
Veneto and
Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Under
Austrian rule from
1797 to
1866, the territory was combined with its western neighbour in the kingdom of
Lombardy-Venetia during the years
1815 -
1859.
