Veneto (Italian pronunciation: [ˈvɛːneto]; Laitin: Venetia; Venetian: Vèneto, [ˈvɛneto]) is ane o the 20 regions o Italy. Its population is aboot 5 million, rankin 5t in Italy.

Veneto haed been for mair nor a millennium an independent state, the Republic o Venice, till it wis eventually annexed bi Italy in 1866 efter brief Austrian an French rule. Its capital was, and still is, Venice, which ruled for centuries ane o the lairgest an richest maritime republics an trade empires in the warld. Due tae this rich cultural legacy, a significant number o Venetians consider thairsels tae hae a unique identity which they refuse tae subsume athin the notion o "Italian", an the regional govrenment haes gane so far as tae offeecially define its inhabitants as "a fowk".[4] This opened the wey tae a notable naitionalist muivement an tae the election o a "Venetian naitionalist", Luca Zaia (Liga Veneta–Lega Nord), as preses o the Region in 2010.

Ance the hertland o the Venetian Republic, Veneto is the day amang the walthiest, maist developit an industrialised regions o Italy. Haein ane o the kintra's richest historical, natural, airtistic, cultural, muisical an culinary heritages, it is an aw ane o the maist visitit regions o Italy, wi aboot 60 million tourists ivery year (2007).[5] Besides Italian, maist inhabitants an aw speak Venetian. Haein been for a lang period in history a land o mass emigration, Veneto is the day ane o the greatest immigrant-receivin regions in the kintra, wi 454,453 foreigners (9.30% o the regional population).
