パルコリージョナルベネトデルデルタデルポーのおすすめMTBライド

ヴェナ運河は、キオッジャで最も絵のように美しく活気のある水路であり、しばしば街の「大運河」と評されます。9つの橋があり、それぞれに独自の歴史と特徴があり、側面の歩道を繋ぎ、路地への通行を可能にしています。 最も壮大なのは、間違いなく運河の北端、ラグーンに向かうヴィーゴ橋です。1685年に大理石で建てられたこの橋は、街の記念碑的な入り口を表しています。その堂々とした階段とエレガントな装飾により、運河から近くのペッレストリーナ島まで広がる壮大な景色を眺めることができます。 サン・ジャコモ橋やカネヴァ橋など、他の8つの橋が途中にあり、停泊中のボートや歴史的な市場の間にある絵葉書のような景色を提供しています。これらの橋は単なる建築構造ではなく、キオッジャの生活の鼓動する心臓部であり、ヴェネツィアの雰囲気が漁村の真実味と融合しています。

This historic bridge spans the Po di Maistra, connecting Boccasette to the island of Ca' Venier. Crossing is restricted to pedestrians, bicycles, and hand-propelled motorcycles. The bridge was restored and reopened in recent years. It is generally open between 8:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m., but opening hours and times vary depending on flooding and are not always signposted. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find up-to-date information online. Before arriving, it's advisable to check locally and plan an alternative if the bridge is closed.

One of the major projects completed during the Fascist era is the Sottomarina Dam, which, together with the Ca' Roman Dam built a few years earlier, completes the mouth of the Port of Chioggia. Construction began in the years following the First World War. Like the Murazzi (sea walls), the dam was constructed of brick and boulders of local Istrian stone and, in addition to finally completing the entrance to the Port of Chioggia, also allowed for a further expansion of the beach. The inauguration, as mentioned, took place in the midst of the Fascist regime on April 28, 1935, in the presence of the Duke of Aosta. The dam was immediately embraced by the local population, especially the residents of Sottomarina, a popular destination for their walks, so much so that many refer to it as "Sailors' Square."

The Dam and the Walls, Sottomarina The Dam and the Walls The Walls are Istrian stone walls built by the Republic of Venice starting in the late 18th century to protect the inhabited centers of the lagoon from marine erosion. They are divided into three sections: one on the island of Lido, a second on the island of Pellestrina as far as Cà Roman, and a third along the coast of Sottomarina, running from Forte San Felice to the center of Sottomarina at a height of approximately 1200 meters. The famous War of Chioggia led to the complete destruction of Sottomarina, which became an uninhabited area, exposed to the sea without any protection and subject to frequent flooding. Reconstruction, which included the construction of the Walls, did not begin until 1600. The Walls along Via San Felice were more than 5 kilometers long and over 300 meters wide. They were built from square stones, primarily Istrian stone, erected on stilts extending to the Pellestrina coast and, of course, the Sottomarina coast. Initially, given the scale of the project and the lack of adequate equipment, construction seemed impossible, so it took thirty-eight years to complete in 1770. Legend has it that the inscription "Ausu romano, aere veneto" (With Roman boldness, with Venetian money) was already in place. The inscription is still visible when passing by on the Chioggia-Pellestrina vaporetto. The Murazzi ceased to function between the late 19th and early 20th centuries when the receding sea revealed an unexpected beach, thus forming a symbolic dividing line between "old" and "new" Sottomarina. Today, the Murazzi di Sottomarina are located about one kilometer from the sea: this has allowed for a large-scale revival of coastal tourism. The Murazzo now connects the entire Venetian coast, especially the outer islands, like a cordon, leaving only the three bays open, thus preserving the lagoon's waters.

Connection between Chioggia and Sottomarina. The city's only green space.

Never seen so many Kingfishers, plus flamingos and a fox. It was worth it!

I suggest you get good information before reaching the mobile bridge as it can sometimes be closed and the only alternative is to go back. It happened to us with the children and we had to change the itinerary. We found it closed due to the flooding of the Po

DO NOT follow this trail that passes next to the water pump (also marked by the cycle path sign), but continue on asphalt. In April 2025 the bank is completely covered with tall grass, it is very difficult to pedal.
