Other Bases in Italy : Chioggia

Marano - The Ancient Citadel

Marano (small town in the center of the Grado and Marano lagoon) is another splendid communauty, already perfectly coupled with Chioggia for their flourishing fishing activity. The base is located only at 300 m of the historic center, on an island/harbour joined to the earth by two bridges, one for vehicles and another for walkers.

In the North of the lagoon, in the heart of a preserved nature, surrounded by forests Marano and its ancient citadel hide, which shelters still today a community of fishermen which kept local traditions very related to the marine culture of Venice. Take time to walk you to the natural reserve of the Stella River and that of Valle Canal Novo, in the lagoon of Marano: its natural ecosystem is single in Europe and of an immense biological richness, which makes of them a true oasis of fauna and flora.

  • To see : Torre patriarchal of XVème Century, the Loggia building of XVème and Palazzo dei Provveditori (palate of XVème), the Church of Beata Vergine della Salute, the Civic center with its permanent archaeological exposure.
  • To taste : tagliatelli with tuna, cialzons (speciality of raviolis), the gubana and the pinze (softnesses), the Friuli wines.
  • To know : to 90 km of Venice (by road) to 60 km of Venice (by channels).
  • Very Favourite : Lagoon of Grado and Marano, Aquileia (not Venice and its islands)

The Navigation :

Sail along the littoral Veneta “Chioggia-Trieste”, an old way of water, creates by the “Sérénissime” during the period of its greater splendour. Huts of fishermen to the palates of the Channel Large, of the large estuaries to the green landscapes sometimes hidden by the roselières, of a fertile campaign to an idle beach: traditional of navigation, a decoration among the most varied and unforeseeable…
