After the Congress Of Vienna , 1815 , Venetia was a part of the Kingdom Of Lombardy-Venetia , a personal possession of the Emperor Of Austria . In 1848 , Venetia arose against the Austrians, forming the ''Governo Provvisorio di Venezia'' (Venice Temporary Government) that lasted only seventeen months. In 1859 , Venetia became a part of the Austrian Empire, when Lombardy went to the Kingdom Of Italy ; however, Venetia remained under Austrian control until the Austro-Prussian War in 1866 . When the Kingdom Of Italy joined this war on the Prussian front, she was promised Venetia as thanks for her assistance. Then followed her history.
