Notable is a manuscript titled "Dialogue ... on the New star" attributed to Galileo (1564–1642).

The language enjoyed substantial prestige in the days of the Venetian Republic, when it attained the status of a lingua franca in the Mediterranean. Notable Venetian-language authors are the playwrights Ruzante (1502–1542) and Carlo Goldoni (1707–1793). Both Ruzante and Goldoni, following the old Italian theater tradition (Commedia dell'Arte), used Venetian in their comedies as the speech of the common folk. They are ranked among the foremost Italian theatrical authors of all time, and Goldoni's plays are still performed today. Other notable works in Venetian are the translations of the Iliad by Casanova (1725–1798) and Francesco Boaretti, and the poems of Biagio Marin (1891–1985).

Nowadays venetian is still vigorous even in Brasil, where it is called talian. This venetian language version, spoken by undred-thousands of emigrants from veneto living in Brasil, is written by dozens of writers, especially in Rio Grando and Santa Cattarina.
