A thousand-year republic whose distinctive professions are still doges and patriarchs at literally hundreds of times the global rate. Venice's bench runs from Marco Polo through Vivaldi, Casanova, and Canaletto, and its 15th- through 17th-century share is the heaviest of any European city in the dataset — the great age of the Serenissima, when the city was simultaneously a trading empire, a papal election ground, and the printing capital of Europe. Almost a seventh of the bench is painters.
One face per century — the most globally famous figure born in Venice during each.
