Veneto (/ˈveɪnəˌtoʊ/ or /ˈvɛnətoʊ/,Italian: [ˈvɛːneto]) or Venetia (/vɪˈniːʃə/ – Latin: Venetia; Venetian: Vèneto; more specifically Venezia Euganea) is one of the twenty regions of Italy. Its population is about five million, ranking fifth in Italy. The region's capital and largest city is Venice.
Veneto was part of the Roman Empire until the 5th century AD. Later, after a feudal period, it was part of the Republic of Venice until 1797. Venice ruled for centuries over one of the largest and richest maritime republics and trade empires in the world. After the Napoleonic Wars and the Congress of Vienna, the Republic was annexed by the Austrian Empire, until it was ceded to the Kingdom of Italy in 1866, as a result of the Third Italian War of Independence. The Statute of Veneto describes Venetians as a "people".
