The history of the town comes from the far and mysterious past of a civilization born and bread by the Sea.
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.

  | La storia della città è legata a quella di Venezia dai suoi esordi, quando gli abitanti delle isole aderirono alla Repubblica della Serenissima. |
During the 15th century Venice fortified the lagoon with forts to defend her islands. | Durante il XV secolo Venezia fortifica la laguna con roccaforti per difendere le sue isole. Il forte S. Felice di Sottomarina è a tutt'oggi visitabile! Durante l'estate la città organizza organizza escursioni per scoprire le bellezze nascoste della fortezza! |
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.

November is the most fascinating month to experience the Venetian lagoon...
A foggy atmosphere embraces Chioggia, Sottomarina as well as Venice and the islands of the North lagoon. The islands become more mysterious and romantic, making visitors feel to be part of another magic world..

The smell of roasted chestnuts,
the sweet taste of the Chioggia famous pumpkin,
the shadows of the alleys of the city,
the sparkles of the wine glass on the lagoon,
the glimmer of the sun on the November sea
