Veneto
Veneto (pronounced: /vɛˈnɛtoʊ/; Italian: [ˈvɛːneto]; Venetian: Vèneto [ˈvɛneto]) is a geographical and historical region in northeastern Italy. Its name is derived from the ancient Veneti people who inhabited the region by the 10th century BC.
Etymology
The name Veneto comes from the ancient people of the Veneti, who inhabited the region as far back as the 10th century BC. The origin of the name is uncertain, but it may be derived from an old Indo-European root *wen- (love), so that the name could mean "loved land" or "land of the kin".
