History Walks in VeniceThe Lombard Invasion
The Lombard invasion of Byzantine Italy was a pivotal event in Venetian history.
The invasion, and the conquests that followed, led to an increased importance of the lagoon settlements, to a slow demise of Byzantine control in north-east Italy, to the establishment of a semi-independent church in the lagoons, and ultimately to Venetian statehood.
