Chioggia

The landscape around Chioggia is a low, watery mosaic of lagoon islands and channels at the southern edge of the Venetian Lagoon, which has shaped both the urban form and local economy. This historic fishing port faces the Adriatic beside the resort district of Sottomarina, while canals run through its compact old centre and are crossed by bridges. Chioggia gave its name to the War of Chioggia, fought between Venice and Genoa from 1378 to 1381. Fishing remains central to local life, reflected in the daily trade at the town’s fish market.
