Venice is a city in which there is almost no land. Everything necessary for life had to be imported by the sea, which for its inhabitants was defense and fate. And the Venetians, born traders, created a magnificent naval empire that changed the world. The English scientist Roger Crowley talks about the rise of this empire, created on the unique system of islands, ports and strategic bastions. This is the history of the republic, which the Crusades gave a chance to enter the world stage, the story of courage and duplicity, good luck, perseverance, enterprise and periodic disasters, a story that proved the ability of a small marine power to have a global influence
