Venice is a city located on the coast of the Adriatic Sea, and has always been an important trade centre. Originally called Venezia, Venice was founded by refugees from the mainland who sought refuge from invaders. The locals were skilled at trading and this helped them to develop their own unique identity. This led to Venice becoming one of the wealthiest cities in Italy during the mediaeval era with a population of around 100,000 people.
