Fausto Veranzio  in 1617, (then sixty-five years old) implemented his design and tested the parachute by jumping from St Mark's Campanile in Venice. The 17th century ''Brooklyn Tidal Mill'' in Long Island (New York), is based on his design and is one of the few still standing mills in the [[New York|New York City]] area. Today a Croatian Navy rescue ship bears the name ''Faust Vrančić''.

*''This period was marked by Venetian warfare against the Turks. When the French gave Venice to [[Austria]] under the Treaty of Campo Formio (1797), Dalmatia became Austrian also; but in 1805, under the Treaty of Pressburg, Austria had to cede Dalmatia to Napoleon. It was returned to Austria after Napoleon’s fall and remained an Austrian crownland until 1918.''
