More veneto
calendar used in the Venetian republic until 1757
The more veneto (M.V.) (Latin-Venetian 'in the Venetian manner') was the dating style used in the Republic of Venice, with the new year starting on March 1, Capodanno, New Year's Day. It was used with both the Julian and the Gregorian calendars.
Venice originally used the Julian calendar with March 25 as New Year's day, as usual elsewhere, but later shifted to March 1. This practice dates at least to the 11th century, but it is unclear when or why it was adopted. It may have inspired by the ancient Roman calendar.
Venice continued to use March 1 with the Gregorian calendar when it was adopted in 1582. So, for example, February 1700 A.D. corresponds to February 1699 M.V.
The more veneto was used until the Fall of the Venetian Republic in 1797.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “More veneto” as calendar used in the Venetian republic until 1757. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as calendar used in the Venetian republic until 1757. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
The citation trail is more important than the brevity of the summary: it shows where individual claims can be examined in context. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 6, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1240711. None of the 0 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1582, 1700, 1699 and 1797.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
