Reply To: Venetian City Guard

They’re accurate in so far as the Venetian Army wore mid-blue uniforms.  I don’t really think they had a “town guard” as such in the city proper, just a garrison of the wider army.  So it’s probably a fair guess as to what uniforms local soldiery might have worn.

Have  a look here:

Also worth noting that the Venetian Republic ceased to exist around the end of the 18th century, beyond that it was variously a French and Austrian province before eventually becoming part of an independent Italy so you won’t find anything for Venice beyond around 1800.
