Why venice is called serenissima?

I know that it was the Reppublica serenissima di venezia, but why they chose to call it Serenissima?

martox45
It is often referred to as the Serenissima, which is Latin for its title when it was the republic "Serenissima"
La Serenissima, a name for Republic of Venice, from the title Serenissimo literally meaning "the most/very serene" (elsewhere used for Princes) which all its major magistrates, including the Dogi, used for themselves


Meghan W
Serenissima means "The Serene One"...it's in reference to Venice's location on the lagoon

Just a correction on our friend MARTOX - his source is Wikipidia. You don't have to be Italian to find the info he provided verbatim.

Good day !
