The Siege of Venice was an episode of the Italian campaign during the War of the Sixth Coalition. The city, occupied by a large French garrison under the command of General Jean-Mathieu Seras, was besieged by Anglo–Austrian forces for about six months attempted to defeat Napoleon's soldiers and take full control of the Veneto. The siege, which actually involved the lagoon and its fortifications more than the city itself, began on 6 November 1813 and lasted until 20 April 1814 , when news arrived of the definitive surrender of the Franco-Italian forces and the garrison capitulated, as established by the clauses of the convention signed between the two armies in the previous days, allowing the Anglo-Austrian forces to enter Venice.
