The Venetians in Shakespeare's time are the same thing as the Venetians are today--people who live in Venice. Only in Shakespeare's time, Venice was a powerful independent country with a lot of overseas holdings, especially in Dalmatia and the Greek islands, and was the main resistance to the expansion of the Ottoman Empire (Turkey).
