Venise est une ville portuaire du nord-est de l'Italie, sur les rives de la mer Adriatique. Elle s'étend sur un ensemble de 118 petites îles séparées par un réseau de canaux et reliées par des ponts. Située au large de la lagune vénète, entre les estuaires du Pô et du Piave, Venise est renommée pour cette particularité, ainsi que pour son architecture et son patrimoine culturel - elle et sa lagune sont inscrites au patrimoine mondial de l'UNESCO.
Son nom provient du peuple qui habitait la région avant le Xe siècle, les Veneti. Dénommée Venetiae en latin, elle est parfois surnommée la « Cité des Doges », la « Sérénissime », la « Reine de l'Adriatique », la « Cité des Eaux », la « Cité des Masques », la « Cité des Ponts » ou encore la « Cité flottante ». La ville est aujourd'hui célèbre pour ses canaux - notamment le Grand Canal - et ses gondoles, ses nombreuses églises, la place Saint-Marc, le palais des Doges, le Pont des Soupirs, sa Biennale ainsi que son carnaval.

Venice has been known as the "La Dominante", "Serenissima", "Queen of the Adriatic", "City of Water", "City of Masks", "City of Bridges", "The Floating City", and "City of Canals". Luigi Barzini described it in The New York Times as "undoubtedly the most beautiful city built by man".Venice has also been described by the Times Online as being one of Europe's most romantic cities.
