Veneto, in northeastern Italy, is a region of diverse beauty, from the lagoon city of Venice—famous for its canals and St. Mark’s Square—to the Dolomite Alps in the north. Its capital, Venice, drives tourism, while cities like Verona (of Romeo and Juliet fame) and Padua add historical depth. Veneto’s economy thrives on wine production (think Prosecco), fashion, and industry, blending Renaissance charm with modern prosperity in a region shaped by centuries of trade and art.
