One day in Chioggia, little Venice

Chioggia city center on market day
Chioggia city center on market day

On a sunny weekend in early autumn I was in the beautiful town of Chioggia, a place with deep culture and a long history. In fact, in 1797 Chioggia passed under the reign of Venice, as a result of which it passed first under the Austrian Hungarian empire and then under the reign of France.

A town with a conformation very similar to the most famous Venice, it offers visitors slow and harmonious atmospheres typical of fishing villages, transmitting what & igrave; a great sense of peace and a warm welcome.

The city is actually divided into the old town of Chioggia and in the Riviera area with the beautiful beach, called Sotto Marina . Typical is the bridge that connects the two areas of Chioggia.

The main street of the ancient city is Corso del Popolo, a great course characteristic of this beautiful town on whose sides there are numerous outdoor tables where I sip a delicious aperitif admiring the street go cheerful typical of Saturday afternoon.

Another characteristic place I visit is the large fish market in Piazza Granaio which during all days of the week except Monday & igrave; it offers in its stalls excellent specimens of typical fish of the Adriatic Sea.

In the canals that surround the town there are also numerous mussel farms and small boats of local fishermen. City that I found of great charm thanks also to its strong attachment to the sea.
