📜26 January 1699
The Treaty of Karlowitz was signed in today's Serbia between the Holy League and the Ottoman Empire.
The Treaty ended the 16 year long Great Turkish War and the new borders between European and Ottoman countries were agreed.
Venice, which played an important role in the sea war victories thanks to the amazing strategic wit of the Doge #FrancescoMorosini who never lost a single battle, gained dominion of coastal territories such as Dalmatia and Morea (= Greek Peloponnesus) in addition to the islands of Crete and Cyprus already controlled.
It was the maximum expansion ever for Venice Republic!
The new Venetian administration was split into 3 entities: the Dogado (Venice city and surroundings), the Stato de Tera (lands in Northern Italy and Istria) and the Stato de Mar (Adriatic and Mediterranean coasts and islands).
This dominion on the Adriatic and Mediterranean area lasted until 👉1797 when Napoleon came and put an end to the Serenissima Republic of Venice.

📜 It's always fun when I take American guests in my #WalkingTour in Venice and I tell them "We're starting from the Ghetto"...
Their reaction is always the same: "I don't wanna go to the ghetto" 😱
Why?
From Wikipedia: "Ghettos in the United States are typically urban neighborhoods perceived as being high in crime and poverty".
And it's always a surprise when I tell them that #Ghetto ("Gheto" in Venetian) is the name of a small island in Venice that became a worldwide used term since XVI century... they hardly believe me.
Then I tell them the story... do you know that?

📜 22 March 1848
On that day the Republic of San Marco was established in Venice during the first Italian war of independence, following the insurrection of the city against the
👉 Austrian domination.
The main creator of the revolution and key figure of the new Republic was the Venetian lawyer Daniele Manin, who carried the surname of the 👉 last Doge of Venice.
This was the most significant episode of the insurrection riots which took place all over #Italy in 1848. The Republic of San Marco survived few months until August 1849 when, after a strenuous resistance, the city returned under #Austria.
📸 In the photos:
- Campo Manin in Venice with the monument dedicated to #DanieleManin and the 👉 San Marco Lion at its feet.
- Calle Larga XXII Marzo, named after the date, today e renowned "shopping street" not far from #SanMarco Square.
- The siege of Venice and the bombing of San Geremia Church by the Austrian from
👉 Forte Marghera.
- The proclamation of the Republic of San Marco.
