Venice was a dependency of the Byzantine Empire when it gained control of Italy. This continued after the Byzantines lost northern Italy because of the Lombard invasion and survived the takeover of Italy by the Franks. This kept Venice separate from the Holy Roman Empire and kept her linked to Constantinople, even though she gradually gained effective independence. The first crusade, which was fought to help the Byzantines, and where Venice and the other Italian sea republics supplied the navy, increased commercial ties with the Byzantine Empire. Venice was the prime trading link between Constantinople and Western Europe.
The Byzantine Empire did not recover from the fall of Constantinople to the Turks because the Turks were a strong local power which captured all of the remaining byzantine territory. Whereas the 4th Crusaders were few in number after they divided up the empire and they only captured part of the Byzantine Empire, the remainder of the Empire split into independent Byzantine powers, one of which the Empire of Nicaea eventually recaptured Constantinople and restored the Byzantine Empire.
They competed with the Byzantines in order to trade with Asia. They were successful and ended up gaining positions in the Empire.
Venice is not underwater, but on water. Venice has been battling against water for 1,500 years and it has sunk 9 inches in the last 100 years. Unless something is done the city will no longer exist by the end of this century. The Italian government is to install 78 mobile gates to be used in high tide.
