In this episode, we're off to Udine in Italy. This region is the birthplace of the last doge of the Republic of Venice. This is a story of the end of the Serenissima… and of a villa that still recounts the tragic days of the last Venetian ruler.

The last Doge, a Friulan

Extinguished Countries is the first guidebook series about countries that no longer exist. We don’t follow today’s borders but take you on a journey through former states. We travel transnationally and through time and space, looking for what unites us rather than what divides us. We are launching our first guidebook about the Republic of Venice, in March 2020. 
This podcast tells some of the great stories you will find in the guidebook. These episodes are currently being broadcasted around Europe in English, French and Italian, but you can also find them here! 
Every episode will take you to a different part of the Republic of Venice, discovering a place, a tradition, a myth… Where does the word “ghetto” come from? Where was Marco Polo born? Are there still any pirate in the Adriatic sea?
Find out the answers in our podcast!
