The Veneziano amplitude is the tree-level string scattering amplitude for the scattering of four open bosonic strings in their tachyon states. Hence equivalently it is a certain 4-point function in a certain boundary 2d CFT.
Historically, this amplitude first arose in dual resonanace models? and the realization that it has a natural interpretation as the scattering of strings was one of the main original motivations for the development of string theory.
In p-adic string theory (see there) one considers adelic integral-variants of the Veneziano amplitude.

Suggestion to understand the Veneziano amplitude in quantum hadrodynamics as the scattering amplitude of chains of particles with harmonic nearest-neighbour interaction, in the continuum limit described by the Polyakov action, this becoming one of the arguments initiating string theory (alongside Polyakov gauge-string duality):
