Venetian refugees
Following the Lombard invasion in 568-569, and the subsequent conquest of Byzantine Venetia, mostly in the first half of the 600s, a part of the Venetian population of the mainland cities fled or left for the settlements in the nearby lagoons.
The lagoons were, by the late 600s, the only part of ancient Venetia, which remained under Byzantine rule.

The conquest of Venetia
The invasion of the Lombards in 568 was only the start of their conquest of much of Italy. It was, however, not a centrally planned process, and it would take almost a century before Byzantine Venetia was under Lombard rule, and then some smaller bits still eluded them.
The Lombard migration appears to have mostly followed the main consular roads between the Roman cities, at a distance from the more swampy coastal areas adjacent to the lagoons.
Consequently, the cities first occupied by the invaders were along those roads, while other towns, either closer to the lagoons or easy to pass by, were left alone.

Kings of the Lombards
The Kingdom of the Lombards played a major role in early Venetian history, as it was the Lombard invasion of Italy in 568 which started the migration of the Veneti from the mainland into the settlements of the lagoons.

Liber Pontificalis — John III
The Liber Pontificalis — the Book of the Popes — contains short biographies of the early popes of Rome. Compilation of the Liber Pontificalis started in the mid-500s.
The entry for John (Iohannes, Giovanni) III, who was pontiff from 561 to his death in 574, is the earliest known source for the story that the Byzantine general Narses invited the Lombards to invade and take possession of Italy, due to a spat with the emperor Justin II and empress Sophia.

Did Narses invite the Lombards?
The Lombards, led by their king Alboin, invaded Byzantine Italy in 568, in a movement which was well-prepared in advance.
The move was not a response to an emergency or an attack by another group. It was a planned and organised migration towards new lands.
They even had a plan B in case of failure.
They handed over their houses and lands to another people, the Avars, with the agreement that if they returned, they would get them back.

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.

The “Historia Langobardorum” by Paul the Deacon
The Historia Langobardorum — The History of the Lombards — by Paul the Deacon is the oldest chronicle relevant to the history of Venice. It probably dates to the 780s or 790s.
As the name implies, it is a chronicle of the Lombards — or Langobards — but as the Lombard invasion was a pivotal event in the history of early Venice, there are several chapters relevant to Venice.
The Historia Langobardorum was also an important source for many of the later Venetian chronicles and writings. It is, and it always was, an essential source for the study of early Venice.
