Is venice an oligarchy?

No, it's called "Serenissima Repubblica di Venezia" but just with reference to the Middle Age and Renaissance, at the times when Doge was ruling.
Nowadays it's part of the Italian Republic, itsn't absolutely an oligarchy..!!

Venice is a city (and capitol of a region) and is part of the Republic of Italy.

yes....600 years ago!
are you crazy??? venice is in italy!!!

Venice was never an oligarchy. The Doge could have been almost any citizen, There was a very complicated selection process.

Francesco de Mosta tried to illustrate it's process in his series on Venice.

we Veneti: people who live in Veneto want the indipendence!!!
