Did you know that Venice sits at the same latitude as Minneapolis?

Didn't know that off the top of my head. I was making a joke about Italy and Chicago being at the same longitude do to the picture.

Although the area just west of Venice, now part of Tuscany I believe was given to Spain in exchange for the Louisiana Purchase (part of a larger deal) , which I believe may have included Minneapolis. Don't remember where the lines fall.
