Venetia (region)

Venetia (region)

[
23 March 1848 - 24 August 1849) was an Italian tricolour, with the lion of St. Mark.] Venetia is a name used mostly in a historical context for the area of Northeast Italy, corresponding approximately to the present-day Italian administrative regions of the Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia.

Venetia formed for a long time the Italian land portion of the Republic of Venice. In 1797, the Republic ended with Napoleon's invasion, and was included in the French Empire.

After the Congress of Vienna, 1815, Venetia was a part of the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia, a separate kingdom of the Austrian Empire. In 1848, Venetia arose against the central Austrian government, forming the "Governo Provvisorio di Venezia" (Venice Temporary Government) that lasted only seventeen months. Venetia remained under Austrian control until the Austro-Prussian war in 1866, when the Kingdom of Italy joined this war on the Prussian front and she was promised Venetia as thanks for her assistance.
