The city of Venice has been the capital of the Republic of Venice for more than a thousand years and is known in this regard as the Serenissima, the Dominant and the Queen of the Adriatic. Due to its urban features and its artistic heritage, Venice is universally considered one of the most beautiful cities in the world and is included, together with its lagoon, among the UNESCO World Heritage sites of Italy: this factor has contributed to making it the third Italian city (after Rome and Milan) with the highest tourist flow, mostly coming from outside Italy.
