Venice
Venice is the capital of the Veneto region. The city itself is a
fascinating - it's completely unique, like nowhere else in the world.
It was founded more than 1,500 years ago on 117 different islands. The
best way to get around is by boat! It's a series over 150 canals, 400
bridges and many ancient pavements. The buildings rest upon oak and
pine posts that are driven deep into the ground to create a solid
foundation. Apparently, as the soil is waterlogged there is no free
oxygen so the piles don't decay

most important Renaissance architectural towns in Italy. The Duomo and
Bapistry are simply magnificent, as is the large Piazza. Then there's
