Francesco Pio Esposito bagged a long-range screamer to double Inter’s lead midway through the first half.
Meanwhile, Marcus Thuram expertly tucked away a superb low strike from well outside the box.
Finally, Ange-Yoan Bonny beat Venezia goalkeeper Matteo Grandi with a sublime half-volley.
It’s also worth mentioning that Andy Diouf scored his first goal in Italian football to break the deadlock.
Furthermore, Chivu was able to rest several first-team stars, including Hakan Calhanoglu and Lautaro Martinez.
“For many, it was their first time, and some played out of position,” the 45-year-old said. “Courage, determination, and attitude.
“I’m happy they had the chance to experience San Siro.”
A memorable night at San Siro should bolster Inter’s morale ahead of a handsomely-looking league clash against Como.
