The tradition is that when the barbarians invaded the North of Italy, the inhabitants escaped on the islands of the lagoon of Venice, creating the Republic of the Serenissima. The islands of Chioggia and Sottomarina were the 11th and 12th islands of the Confederation of the 12 islands of the lagoon.
Although the town remained largely autonomous, it was always thereafter subordinate to Venice, whose influence is visible in the art and architecture of the city. Beautiful memory of the great past of the city, other than its churches and canals, is the Clock Tower of St. Andrea, the oldest in the World It was built in the same year of Salisbury clock, 1386, and from its top you can enjoy a unique view of the bridges and the palaces of the lagoon.

There is a unique bike route that takes you between sea and lagoon. You will discover the nature and the small towns, enjoying Venice shining in the background. The route explores a fascinating environment from Chioggia to Venice through the elegant island of Lido, the thin fisherman island of Pellestrina and the natural reserve of Ca’Roman. | C'é un itinerario unico che porta a scoprire le isole della Laguna Veneta e i loro Tesori. Dai palazzi di Chioggia, il lungomare di Sottomarina, la spiaggia selvaggia e incontaminata di Ca'roman e le colorate casette dei pescatori di Pellestirna, fino ad arrivare all'elegante Lido e alla splendida Venezia.. |
