The Metropolitan City of Venice (Città Metropolitana di Venezia) is an administrative entity in the Veneto region of Italy, with around 850,000 citizens.

The Venetian Lagoon is a bay of the Adriatic Sea with several islands. While Venice is by far the most populated and visited, many of them are nearly as spectacular, and might be more genuine.
