The Società Veneta (SV) was an Italian public transport company running trains and tramways. Its initial full name was the Società Veneta per le imprese e costruzioni pubbliche (Società Veneta for public business and construction), though from 1898 to 1977 it was known as the Società Veneta per la costruzione e l'esercizio di ferrovie secondarie italiane (Società Veneta for the construction and running of Italian secondary railways).

History

It was formed in Padua on 11 January 1872 and also worked on the construction of housing and other railway-related buildings and infrastructure. In the first half of the 20th century it was the largest railway operating company in Italy, managing lines in central and northern Italy. The company effectively ceased operation in 1986 but the section between Venice and San Giorgio di Nogaro is now part of the Venice–Trieste railway.
