⭐ Core Definition: Venetian Province

The Venetian Province (Venetian: Provinsa Veneta, German: Provinz Venedig) was the name of the territory of the former Republic of Venice ceded by the French First Republic to the Habsburg monarchy under the terms of the 1797 Treaty of Campo Formio that ended the War of the First Coalition. The province's capital was Venice.

In the course of the French Italian campaign of 1796–1797, the Signoria of Venice under Doge Ludovico Manin had rejected an alliance with the French, whereupon General Napoleon Bonaparte occupied the city on 14 May 1797, leading to the fall of the Republic of Venice and the establishment of the Provisional Municipality of Venice. In exchange for renouncing all rights to the Austrian Netherlands and recognizing the French Cisalpine Republic, Francis II, Holy Roman Emperor gained the conquered Venetian territory including the Dalmatian coast but not the smaller Ionian Islands, beyond.

👉 Venetian Province in the context of Provisional Municipality of Venice

The Provisional Municipality of Venice (Italian: Municipalità Provvisoria di Venezia) was a provisional republican regime set up by the First French Republic after the Fall of the Republic of Venice and the occupation of Venice itself by French troops on 16 May 1797. Its territory encompassed the parts of Veneto that had belonged to the Venetian Terraferma. The Provisional Municipality lasted for the duration of the French occupation, until the arrival of Austrian troops on 18 January 1798, in accordance with the Treaty of Campo Formio, and the annexation of the Veneto as the Venetian Province of the Habsburg empire.

Venetian Province in the context of Veneto

Veneto, officially the Region of Veneto, is one of the 20 regions of Italy, located in the north-east of the country. It is the 4th most populous region in Italy, with a population of 4,851,851 as of 2025. Venice is the region's capital while Verona is the largest city.

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 former Republic was combined with Lombardy and re-annexed to the Austrian Empire as the Kingdom of Lombardy–Venetia, until that was merged with the Kingdom of Italy in 1866, as a result of the Third Italian War of Independence and of a plebiscite.
