📜 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.
