and by 1600 almost 200,000 people lived in Venice
Venice, especially during the Middle Ages, Renaissance and Baroque, was a
major centre of art and developed a unique style known as the Venetian
School.
In the 14th century, many young Venetian men began wearing tight-fitting
multicoloured hose, the designs on which indicated the Compagnie della Calza
("Trouser Club") to which they belonged.
The most common dish is polenta, which is cooked in various ways within the local cuisines of Veneto. Polenta
once was the universal staple food of the poorer classes, who could afford little else.
