View of Venice, Italy, 1859
 |
Venice was the center of the Mediterranean slave trade in the 14th century, however, it was a significant spot for suppression of the slave trade. There were letters being sent out of Venice to the Foreign Office concerning the suppression but it did not have the same sort of prominence regarding slave trade as it did in the 14th century. |
