VEIXIICE lelt Sta. Maria Della Salute, located on the Grand Canal, was built by the Republic of Venice as an act of thanksgiving at the end of an epidemic in which 46,000 Venetians perished. right The Bridge of Sighs, so named because it is over this that a sentenced prisioner walked to his dungeon, connects the Doges' Palace to the prison. The islands that were later to form the city of Venice became heavily populated in the 5th and 6th centuries, when they were sought as a refuge from the barbaric I-Iuns and Lombards who were ravaging the mainland. Isolated as they were from the rest of Italy, the Venetians soon developed their own independent republic under the leadership of a Doge, and began to utilize ihelf IVISUICIV position for extensive maritime operations. By late mediefal times their control of sealanes and over- seas possessions Eastern Mediterranean and the Levantj made them the most powerful city-state in Western Europe. They held this sway until the I5th century, when Turkish encroachments deprived them of their eastern possessions and forminable power arose against them on the mainland. Venice's final doom came in the I797 invasion of Northern Italy by Napoleon. From this period on, Venice changed hands many times, and it was not until T866 that she became a part of the Italian Kingdom.
