Italy's colonial history is better known for its failures (notably the battle of Adwa, the major defeat of a Western power by an African army in the 19th century) than for its achievements. Italy succeeded in conquering a substantial «empire» only in the 20th century, when the traditional colonial powers were already in retreat 1 . But this has not always been the case. The Venetian republic successfully ruled for many centuries the first «colonial» empire in Western Europe 2
