EDITORS COMMENTS
This historic photograph captures the momentous occasion of the Plebiscite in Venice, Italy in October 1866. Following the Third Italian War of Independence, Austria, then the ruling power in Venice, permitted the Venetian people to vote on whether they would prefer to unite with Italy or remain under Austrian rule. The photograph shows the Venetians, dressed in their finest attire, casting their votes in a solemn and orderly manner. The outcome of the plebiscite was a resounding victory for Italy, with 674,426 votes in favor of union, compared to only 69 votes in favor of remaining with Austria. This event marked a significant step towards Italian unification and the end of the Venetian Republic. The photograph provides a glimpse into the past, capturing the excitement and anticipation of the Venetian people as they exercised their right to self-determination for the first time in over three centuries. The image is a poignant reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Venice and the pivotal role it played in the political landscape of Europe during the 19th century.
