VENICE

Italian: Venezia, Venetian: Venezsia, Latin: Venetia

I’m talking about Venice cause in October i’m goinG with Marina, her mother, My mother and my little brother Nicky.

Venice is a city in northern Italy, the capital of region is Veneto, and has a population of 271,251 habitants.
Venice's nicknames include "Queen of the Adriatic", "City of Water", "City of Bridges", and "The City of Light".

The city stretches across numerous small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy.
The saltwater lagoon stretches along the shoreline between the mouths of the Po (south) and the Piave (north) Rivers.
The Venetian Republic was a major sea power and a staging area for the Crusades, as well as a very important center of commerce (especially the spice trade) and art in the
Renaissance. The city-state lost much of its power and importance due to the decline and fall of the Byzantine Empire, which Venice helped to destroy.
One of the most Famous things of Venice is the Carnival, all the people go with masks adn bautiful dresses, with all kind of colours and types of dresses.

I’m so excited to go, is going to be amazing, LoL...
