After the Congress Of Vienna , 1815 , Venetia was a part of the Kingdom Of Lombardy-Venetia , a separate kingdom of the Austrian Empire . In 1848 , Venetia arose against the central Austrian government, forming the ''Governo Provvisorio di Venezia'' (Venice Temporary Government) that lasted only seventeen months. Venetia remained under Austrian control until the Austro-Prussian War in 1866 , when the Kingdom of Italy joined this war on the Prussian front and she was promised Venetia as thanks for her assistance.
