Venice, Italy 30 June 2009
Piazza San Marco (St. Mark square)
Venice stretches across 118 small islands in the marshy Venetian Lagoon along the Adriatic Sea in northeast Italy.
The Venetian Lagoon is the enclosed bay of the Adriatic Sea in which the city of Venice is situated. Its name in the Venetian language, Laguna Veneta - cognate of Latin lacus, "lake" - has provided the international name for an enclosed, shallow embayment of saltwater, a lagoon.
