Venice is a level from Tomb Raider 2.
Lara travels to Venice, the stronghold of Marco Bartoli and his maffia gang the Fiamma Nera. She encounters dogs, rats and Fiamma Nera cult members with silencers and bats. She travels by speedboat, and after a timed run with some badassery, that leads her to the next level.

The balcony where the Fiamma Nera gang mamber is shooting looks like the Palazzo Pisani Gritti in Venice.
02.03 - Glass window[]
The glass window that Lara Croft can shoot is the same as the glass windows in the palazzo's in the Grand Canal in Venice. This one is Palazzo Bauer.
The sound of smashing windows, is an easter egg. Look here: Tomb Raider 2 Easter Eggs
02.04 - Canal pole[]
Canal Poles or “Pali di Casada”, are colourful and distinctive waterside poles that line Venetian canals; yet most visitors remain unaware of their history and significance.Translating as “Poles of the Family”; originally, they were located in front of a palazzo to ensure that visitors arriving by boat would recognise it especially night. Traditionally on top of each pole, an oil lamp shed light in the dark. Nowadays, these oil lamps are replaced by modern caps or “cappellozzi”; which they symbolise. With close attention, you will notice the designs are all different in size, design and colour; depending on their location. [2]
