The Lombard Invasion
The Lombard invasion of Byzantine Italy was a pivotal event in Venetian history.
The invasion, and the conquests that followed, led to an increased importance of the lagoon settlements, to a slow demise of Byzantine control in north-east Italy, to the establishment of a semi-independent church in the lagoons, and ultimately to Venetian statehood.
The Lombard invasion, and the subsequent migration of parts of the mainland residents into the lagoons, became a central part of the later Venetian national narrative — the stories they told to explain where they came from and who they were.

❤️ interdisciplinary research
"We found that even 200 years after immigration, the ancestry at one site (Leobersdorf) remained dominantly East Asian-like, whereas the other site (Mödling) shows local, European-like ancestry. These two nearby sites show little biological relatedness, despite sharing a distinctive late-Avar culture."
