It's my understanding that except maybe for some decorative differences that there would be little to distiguish a "venetian" sword from a mainland Italian one. This would make sense I suppose since Venetian trade with the mainland was extensive and Venetian fashion very much copied that of the mainland. The requirements for a sword would have been essentially the same for either locale and therefore the swords probably would have looked similar.
