9849_0	The Republic of Venice (; ) or Venetian Republic (; ), traditionally known as La Serenissima (; ; ),
9849_1	was a sovereign state and maritime republic in parts of present-day Italy (mainly northeastern
9849_2	Italy) which existed for 1100 years from 697 AD until 1797 AD. Centered on the lagoon communities
9849_3	of the prosperous city of Venice, it incorporated numerous overseas possessions in modern Croatia,
9849_4	Slovenia, Montenegro, Greece, Albania and Cyprus. The republic grew into a trading power during the
9849_5	Middle Ages and strengthened this position in the Renaissance. Citizens spoke the still-surviving
9849_6	Venetian language, although publishing in (Florentine) Italian became the norm during the
9849_7	Renaissance.
9849_8	In its early years, it prospered on the salt trade. In subsequent centuries, the city state
9849_9	established a thalassocracy. It dominated trade on the Mediterranean Sea, including commerce
9849_10	between Europe and North Africa, as well as Asia. The Venetian navy was used in the Crusades, most
9849_11	notably in the Fourth Crusade. However, Venice perceived Rome as an enemy and maintained high
9849_12	levels of religious and ideological independence personified by the patriarch of Venice and a
9849_13	highly developed independent publishing industry that served as a haven from Catholic censorship
9849_14	for many centuries. Venice achieved territorial conquests along the Adriatic Sea. It became home to
9849_15	an extremely wealthy merchant class, who patronized renowned art and architecture along the city's
9849_16	lagoons. Venetian merchants were influential financiers in Europe. The city was also the birthplace
9849_17	of great European explorers, such as Marco Polo, as well as Baroque composers such as Antonio
9849_18	Vivaldi and Benedetto Marcello and famous painters such as the Renaissance master, Titian.
9849_19	The republic was ruled by the doge, who was elected by members of the Great Council of Venice, the
9849_20	city-state's parliament, and ruled for life. The ruling class was an oligarchy of merchants and
9849_21	aristocrats. Venice and other Italian maritime republics played a key role in fostering capitalism.
9849_22	Venetian citizens generally supported the system of governance. The city-state enforced strict laws
9849_23	and employed ruthless tactics in its prisons.
9849_24	The opening of new trade routes to the Americas and the East Indies via the Atlantic Ocean marked
9849_25	the beginning of Venice's decline as a powerful maritime republic. The city state suffered defeats
9849_26	from the navy of the Ottoman Empire. In 1797, the republic was plundered by retreating Austrian and
9849_27	then French forces, following an invasion by Napoleon Bonaparte, and the Republic of Venice was
9849_28	split into the Austrian Venetian Province, the Cisalpine Republic, a French client state, and the
9849_29	Ionian French departments of Greece. Venice became part of a unified Italy in the 19th century.

9849_32	La Serenissima, in reference to its title as one of the "Most Serene Republics".
9849_33	History
9849_34	During the 5th century, northeast Italy was devastated by the Germanic barbarian invasions. A large
9849_35	number of the inhabitants moved to the coastal lagoons, looking for a safer place to live. Here
9849_36	they established a collection of lagoon communities, stretching over about from Chioggia in the
9849_37	south to Grado in the north, who banded together for mutual defence from the Lombards, Huns, and
9849_38	other invading peoples as the power of the Western Roman Empire dwindled in northern Italy.
9849_39	These communities were subjected to the authority of the Byzantine Empire.
9849_40	At some point in the first decades of the eighth century, the people of the Byzantine province of
9849_41	Venice elected their first leader Ursus (or Orso Ipato), who was confirmed by Constantinople and
9849_42	given the titles of hypatus and dux. He was the first historical Doge of Venice. Tradition,
9849_43	however, first attested in the early 11th century, states that the Venetians first proclaimed one
9849_44	Anafestus Paulicius duke in 697, though this story dates to no earlier than the chronicle of John
9849_45	the Deacon. Whichever the case, the first doges had their power base in Heraclea.
9849_46	Rise
9849_47	Ursus's successor, Deusdedit, moved his seat from Heraclea to Malamocco in the 740s. He was the son
9849_48	of Ursus and represented the attempt of his father to establish a dynasty. Such attempts were
9849_49	commonplace among the doges of the first few centuries of Venetian history, but all were ultimately
9849_50	unsuccessful. During the reign of Deusdedit, Venice became the only remaining Byzantine possession
9849_51	in the north, and the changing politics of the Frankish Empire began to change the factional
9849_52	divisions within Venetia.
9849_53	One faction was decidedly pro-Byzantine. They desired to remain well connected to the Empire.
9849_54	Another faction, republican in nature, believed in continuing along a course towards practical
9849_55	independence. The other main faction was pro-Frankish. Supported mostly by clergy (in line with
