On This Day March 25

The city of Venice was originally populated by refugees from mainland cities sacked by the Huns. According to legend, it was founded exactly at the stroke of noon with the dedication of the first church, that of San Giacomo at the islet of Rialto on March 25, 421 (the Feast of the Annunciation).
