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.

​Chioggia e Sottomarina divennero così l'XI e la XII isola della
Confederazione  delle 12 isole della laguna. 


During the 15th century Venice fortified the lagoon with forts to defend her islands.

Sottomarina's fort is called St. Felice and in summer it is possible to explore it!

Every first Saturday of the month the city organizes excursion to discover its walls and chambers..


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! 
Picture


​In the June Medieval festival every year the city of Chioggia re-lives the War of Chioggia, when Genova and Venice fought for the dominion of the Sea (1379/80). 
Picture

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. 
Picture
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.

Few travel experiences hold the inspiring mystique as exploring the underwater reefs.

Not only are reefs colorful and beautiful, but they’re also rather diverse ecosystems.

​Although there are stunning reefs growing all over the world, just out of Venice, in front of Chioggia island there is a unique Adriatic reef.
 


 The TEGNUE of the Adriatic Sea are a unique reef formed 7000 years ago right in front of Chioggia and Sottomarina. 

A various and colorful number of sea creatures live right under the sea, and they are easily visible and reachable to divers in a safe and protected environment

These underwater structures make the Mediterranean islands of Venice even more enticing to explore.


Piero Mescalchin and his association have taken care of this treasure, a piece of Caribbean in the heart of the Mediterrenean sea


Diving clubs organize trips to discover the Venetian Underworld, the reef and the relict of sunken ships...

​ they are easy to contact, and if you need help do not hesitate to ask me

​
If you like to discover Italy moving on water there is a route that will take you to the secret landscapes of the Venice region.. 

Picture
In the region of Venice, facing the Riviera of the Brenta there are the renown Venetian Villas, beautiful 15th-18th century palaces built as summer residences by the local aristocracy.



In past artists, architects, poets have come to appreciate the Villas and were charmed by them. Famous aristocratic houses such as Chiswick House and mansions like the White House were inspired by the Venetian Villas.


Spring is the ideal season to visit these romantic palaces, rest in their blooming parks, loose yourself in the labyrinths and be amazed by the frescoed rooms.

Some of the Venetian Villas face the Brenta river between Venice and Padua.
​
​By navigating on the waters it is possible to reach the palaces 
on the typical boat Burchiello, spending a memorable day cruising in the Venice region.

Chioggia Medieval Festival and Sottomarina Fish Festival!
​
​Festa Medievale della Marciliana e Sagra del Pesce di Chioggia & Sottomarina!


Picture

From 14 to 16 of June Chioggia and Sottomarina will be the centre of your Italian experience. In the Old City you will encounter the knights and dames of the medieval city in the Day of the Marciliana.

​This is the festival in honour of the boat Marciliana, the symbol of the mastery and bravery of the sailors of Chioggia, who fought to preserve Venice's supremacy on the sea against Genoa. 


Dal 14 and 16 giugno, come ogni anno il terzo fine settimana di Giugno, a Chioggia vengono allestiti banchetti e botteghe di maestranze e artigiani medievali, insediati gli accampamenti degli armigeri mentre tutto intorno si svolgono danze, canti, combattimenti e sfide. I balestrieri mostrano al visitatore bandiere, armature, strumenti musicali, fedeli e accurate riproduzioni di pezzi originali.

Una riscoperta dell'anima medievale delle isole in onore della Marciliana, la nave simbolo del coraggio e dell'arte dei marinai di Chioggia nella lotta per la supremazia sul mare tre Venezia e Genova... 

​

​The most famous event of the Medieval festival is the Crossbow tournament on Sunday afternoon, when all the city districts will fight for their victory!
Il culmine della manifestazione è la disputa del Palio delle balestre grosse. La domenica pomeriggio i balestrieri delle cinque contrade di Chioggia si contendono il Palio.
