A former port site, lovingly transformed into a park, with historical images. A must-see, and not just for historians.

The Piave once had a different course than it does today. The old stretch of the Piave begins at the highlight.

The Piave Vecchia near the Intestadura lock.

The gentle and majestic flow of the Piave river at the point where it flows into the Piave Vecchia, the ancient Piave bed that the Republic of Venice decided to divert in the seventeenth century to remove it from the lagoon and to defend itself from the dangers of frequent and devastating floods.

The park that stands at the ancient river port of Noventa di Piave can be reached from the city center through the embankment tunnel. The origin of the river port of Noventa dates back to the 10th century and is due to the will of Pietro Orseolo II (991-1009) Doge of the Serenissima. Thanks to his diplomatic skills, the doge managed to obtain a series of concessions on the Venetian mainland from the German emperor Otto III (980-1002). Among these in 996, the year in which the emperor went down to Italy to be crowned by the pope, he obtained the power to build a port and a market on the Piave, where Noventa now stands. The choice fell on this area because it was the terminal point of navigation on the Piave and was crossed by a road, the Calnova, which followed the path of an ancient Roman road linking the city of Altino and the territory of Opitergino (Oderzo). .

Between 1911 and the 1920s the area was used as a quarry, known locally as the Barina quarry[1], of which a pile of gravel still remains visible. Between the two world wars the area hosted a squero[2]. From the archaeological research carried out between 2014 and 2015[3], it emerged that between the years 1974-75, 13 burci, traditional transport boats, were abandoned on the site, of which three were with certainty (having archaeologists found the documents) of property of the shipowner Dante Bernardi. By comparing aerial photos of the time and photos from private collections, archaeologists have documented that before 1974-75 at least 8 wrecks were already present on the site. Between the late 1970s and mid-1980s, 4 shipwrecks disappeared from the site entirely. Research is continuing to determine further data on the wrecks present and the history of the site which takes its name from the burci, a class of flat-bottomed river transport boats, typical of the P

At the current state of archaeological research, nineteen wrecks of traditional transport boats have been recorded[4]. Among these, different types of traditional Venetian boats have been identified: 3 gabarres 5 burci 2 comacine 2 modified burci with mirror bow for excavation 3 batei 1 mouse 1 small boat 2 boats of unknown type Out of nineteen wrecks surveyed, the original documents of three boats were recovered, the oldest of which dates back to 1937. The documents found provided relevant data on the life of these boats and information on their owners. Only further archival investigations and technical/archaeological analyzes will be able to provide useful elements for dating the other wrecks present on the site.

Forte Vallon, commonly known as Forte Carpenedo is a nineteenth-century fortress and former barracks of the Italian Army located on the mainland near Carpenedo, in the municipality of Venice. Conceived as part of the Mestre entrenched field and of the wider lagoon defensive system, the fort, partly included in the lowland area (area code 034) prized for its environmental characteristics and classified as a site of community interest - Bosco di Carpenedo; today it has an educational-museum function and hosts numerous cultural and social initiatives.
