Possession was roughly equal as the home side created 13 chances to Venezia’s eight.
The opening goal didn’t come until the first minute of the second half, when Sampdoria winger Estanis Pedrola received the ball on the edge of the six-yard box, took a touch and sent it into the far post.
In the 76th minute Chris Gytkjaer equalised for Venezia with a header from a corner taken by Bjarki Bjarkason.
With one minute of regulation time remaining, Tanner Tessmann’s long-range freekick beat Sampdoria keeper Filip Stankovic at his near post.
Venezia remain undefeated in their first three matches, while Sampdoria are winless.
