Venetia (Veneto)

    Venetia occupies part of north-eastern Italy: it includes the Venetian plain, a continuation of the Po valley, and a mountainous zone. It borders to the north with Austria, to the west with Trentino-Alto Adige and Lombardy, to the south with Lombardy and Emilia-Romagna and to the east the region is limited by Friuli-Venezia Giulia and the Adriatic. Of the ancient lagoon system which, until last century, was far more articulated before land reclamation, there are still two small lagoons, Biblione e Caorle, and the wide Venetian Lagoon.
