In the last century it has been one of the richest regions of Italy, being also, and perhaps for this reason, one of the most politically disaffected in southern Italy, which is sometimes treated disparagingly.

Talk

The venetian language it is a language considered apart from common Italian, although it may seem similar. It comes from the language venetian, a now extinct language diverse from Latin, spoken by the Venetian people several thousand years ago. Anyway, practically everyone in Veneto knows common Italian, and if it is spoken one should have no problem communicating.
