For me, Chioggia is inseparably linked to Carlo Goldoni who lived there and set one of his comedies “Le Baruffe Chiozzotte & lt; /strong> '. It is also linked to the rich variety of fish from the sea and the lagoon that you can buy at the picturesque and lively fish market.
Chioggia is called by many 'younger sister of Venice' and this name is very successful. As in Venice there are many canals, there is even a Grand Canal, the Grand Canal of the Vena. They also remember Venice buildings, houses, streets, fields and bridges, all in Venetian style.
The influence of Venice is undeniable and it's not surprising: Chioggia is located only 50 kilometers from Venice, between the Venetian Lagoon and the Po Delta.
Visiting Chioggia does not mean admiring only Corso del Popolo, on which all the most important monuments overlook like the cathedral with works by Tiepolo and other churches of great artistic importance. Chioggia is also a lively outdoor life that takes place in the premises, but also under the arcades and squares.
It is also an intense tourist life that mainly focuses in Sottomarina, a hamlet of Chioggia that is now an integral part of it. Here tourists can not only sunbathe and swim in the sea, but also engage in scuba diving that offer a thousand colorful emotions.
