The "why" is pretty straightforward. Jews could make a living in Venice as merchants. Although the Anti-Semitism there was potent, it had not risen to the point where they were actively excluded from the city and so, they lived there.
As to how they arrived, some came overland from other areas of Italy or Austria. However, the majority came from the Ottoman Empire on trading missions and chose to stay.
