Domini di Terraferma

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Domini di Terraferma or Stato da Tera (literally, the mainland domains or mainland state) was the name given to the territories of the Republic of Venice conquered in the Padano-Veneto hinterland. These Domini, along with the Dogado and Stato da Màr, were the three subdivisions of the Venetian state. At its greatest extent, it included Veneto, Friuli and parts of Lombardy, bounded only by the River Po, the Adda River, the Alps and the Carso.

On the fall of the Republic and the Treaty of Campoformio, the Domini spent a short while under French rule until Napoleon ceded it to Austria in 1797, and in 1815 the former Domini were united with the Kingdom of Italy (1805-1814) in 1815 and with what was left of Lombardy to make the Kingdom of Lombardy-Venetia (under the control of the Austrian empire).
