<p><center><b>Venice is the chief city of Veneto, a region of the North-East of Italy. Situated on the Gulf of Venice, the city is a mixture of sea, sky and impressive architecture. It was built on a group of little isles within the lagoon in the Gulf of Venice. It has splendid architecture and is rich in art treasures and historic associations. The intensive use of its canal network, including the Grande Canale, has led to the erosion of buildings. At present large ? scale projects have been set up to preserve it.</p></center></b>
