The City of Venice is located
in Southwest Florida on the Gulf of Mexico, midway between
Tampa and Ft. Myers.
Venice is known for its beaches, prehistoric sharks' teeth,
scenic parks and Northern Italian Renaissance architectural
style.
It is one of the earliest planned cities in the country,
planned by John Nolen for the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers
in the 1920's.
The city takes pride in its many parades, art fests, nationally
award-winning community theater, and preserved natural environments.
