15 soldi. Venetia. The revolution of 1848-1849 in Lombardy and Venice. Little Venice lasted longer than the rest of the revolutionary republics, but after almost a year’s siege and several hurricane bombings from the sea (as well as attempts to bomb the city with bomb bombs tied to aerostats — essentially the first attempts at aerial bombardment) were taken on August 22-24 by Austrian troops .
