One example is the Venice State Archives , which among other things keeps the historical documents of the Republic of Venice .
history
The Central State Archives were set up in 1875 as the Archivio del Regno or “Archives of the Kingdom” to store documents from the Italian national state, founded in 1861, that were no longer necessary for day-to-day business. For a long time, however, the central archive was not an independent institution; until 1953 it was maintained together with the Rome State Archives. A suitable separate seat for the ACS was found in the EUR district in a building that Mussolini had planned for the 1942 World Exhibition planned there. In the 1950s, the monumental building was completed according to the needs of the ACS. The move took place in 1960. Various renovations and modernizations were carried out in the 1990s.
