About: Venice, a city in northeastern Italy and the capital of the Veneto region, is situated across a group of 118 small islands that are separated by canals and linked by 400 bridges. 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." The buildings of Venice are constructed on closely spaced wooden piles. The foundations rest on plates of Istrian limestone placed on top of the piles, and buildings of brick or stone sit above these footings. The lagoon and a part of the city are listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
