Rome

Venice (ベニス, Benisu) is a fan-made character for the anime and manga series Hetalia: Axis Powers. He represents the capital city of Italy, and received the human name, Tiziano.

Appearance
Venice is a rather dreamy looking child with dark brown curls and eyes, and honey-coloured skin. He usually dresses in rather formal, semi-traditional clothing, with dark green breeches, a white shirt, and a red neck-ribbon, with a white artist's smock over it when he is painting.

Personality
An absent-minded sort of person, Venice is polite, gentle, quiet and always thinking about something. He likes to paint and compose music, and appreciates literature and architecture, particularly churches and cathedrals.

While Venice's thoughtful, romantic personality makes him appear spaced-out and detached, he takes the arts very seriously and gets distressed if anything he loves is treated with disrespect. Like his country, Venice is not very strong, and shyness also makes him a little nervous of strangers, but he has an affectionate heart, and was notably one of the few cities which was left untouched by World War II.

He has a massive fondness for water and, depsite being a rather peaceful capital, was even willing to fight against Turkey over the lands in the Aegean, Ionian and Adriatic Seas, although he subsequently lost. He's also religious and loves Carnival.

Italy
While both would rather stay out of the way than fight, they cherish the other immensely, although Venice is usually quite scandalised by Italy's choice of, or lack of, clothing, and spends a lot of time running around and trying to find him something to wear.

Trivia

 * His human name is inspired by the painter Titian, of Tiziano Vecelli.
