ヴェネツィアのおすすめウォーキング＆ハイキングルート

Campo Santa Margheritaの近く、DorsoduroにあるIl Ponte dei Pugni（拳の橋）は、ヴェネツィアで最も興味深く、民衆の歴史が詰まった場所の一つです。その名前は、14世紀から18世紀にかけて、CastellaniとNicolottiという二つの都市派閥が対立していた、古くは非常に暴力的な伝統に由来しています。これらの派閥は、橋の頂上で文字通りの素手での戦いを繰り広げ、相手を下の運河の水に投げ込むことを目的としていました。 今日でも、橋の頂上の角には、戦士たちのスタート地点を示すために使われていた白いイストリア石の足跡が4つ見られます。当時、橋には側面の欄干がなく、水への落下は非常に頻繁な結果でした。これらの「拳の戦争」は、その過度の危険性から1705年に最終的に禁止されましたが、この橋はヴェネツィアの気質と歴史的なライバル関係の具体的な証拠として残っています。

サンタ・マリア・アスンタ大聖堂は、コルソ・デル・ポポロの南端に位置するキオッジャの記念碑的な中心部を表しています。中世の建物を焼失させた火災の後、バルトロメオ・ロンゲーナの設計に基づいて17世紀に再建されたこの教会は、印象的で落ち着いたファサードを持ち、内部はヴェネツィアのバロック様式の祝祭となっています。内部空間は、パルマ・イル・ジョーヴァネやピエトロ・リベリなどの芸術家による絵画の傑作を収める広い身廊によって区切られています。大聖堂の隣には、高さ64メートルのロマネスク様式の鐘楼がそびえ立ち、その頂上には歴史的に船乗りたちの目印として機能していた灯台があります。この複合施設は、単なる宗教的中心地ではなく、信仰の荘厳さと街の海洋史を融合させた建築的シンボルです。

Chioggia Cathedral The bishop's see, which had been located in Malamocco since 1100 after massive coastal erosion and a tsunami rendered the area uninhabitable, was moved to Chioggia. Next to the ancient Porta di Santa Maria, the first cathedral in the Clodiense region was built. Dedicated to the Nativity of the Virgin Mary, it was, according to some legends, erected on the foundations of an old pagan temple dedicated to the goddess Concordia. With the establishment of the bishop's see, in 1264, by order of Bishop Enrico Grancarolo and with the approval of the Doge, the relics of Saints Felice and Fortunato were transferred to this new cathedral, and an altar was dedicated to them. The church remained undamaged even after the Chioggia War and, during that same war, served as a deposit for goods and booty divided among the victors. The building was destroyed by fire at Christmas 1623; only the saints' relics and a few other objects were saved. On the north side of the cathedral, four high reliefs remain, which certainly belong to the medieval church: two made of Istrian stone: the first depicts a warrior martyr saint (S. Felice or S. Fortunato), the second a Madonna and Child, set in a trefoil niche dating from the mid-14th century. Two more from the same period, made of Greek marble and set in a smooth, profiled frame, depict the Virgin of the Annunciation and the Archangel Gabriel.

Vigo Bridge, Chioggia The Vigo Bridge is one of the most important symbols of Chioggia, also known as Little Venice. A major tourist attraction, the bridge tells the story of the lagoon city's centuries-old past. Already existing in 1408, the old bridge was already present during the war against Genoa. At that time, it was the site of the fighting, so it is inferred that it existed at least by 1379. The majestic bridge was restored in 1424, but it wasn't until 1478 that it was rebuilt in stone. The bridge's balcony is entirely covered with Istrian stone and features a marble balustrade. Rebuilt in stone in 1685, the bridge was designed by Giovanni Francesco Morosini. Its conversion was prompted by the excessively high maintenance costs associated with the wooden structure. Furthermore, the bridge was essential for the city and was considered a symbol of beauty and elegance. Therefore, the year 1685 was engraved in the center of the arch.

The Cathedral of Chioggia (Italian: Dom di Chioggia, Cattedrale di Santa Maria Assunta) is the main church in Chioggia, Italy, located in the southern part of the Venetian Lagoon. It dates back to 1627. The Baroque Cathedral of Santa Maria Assunta is also the cathedral of the Diocese of Chioggia and the largest building in the city of Chioggia in Veneto. An initial structure on the site was completed in 1110. From 1623 to 1674, it was reconstructed by the architect Baldassare Longhena, although the façade remains unfinished. Inside the church, there are many interesting works of art by renowned Venetian artists. https://www.venediginformationen.eu/inseln-der-lagune/insel-chioggia/chioggia-dom/chioggia-dom.htm
