Companionship in Chioggia
Lagoon waters surround this fishing town at the southern tip of the Venetian lagoon, connected to the mainland by a long stone bridge and to the barrier island of Sottomarina by a short swing bridge. Chioggia, home to approximately 41,897 residents in the Metropolitan City of Venice, has been called "Little Venice" for its parallel canals, narrow calli, and small bridges - though on a more compact and less touristic scale than its famous neighbour 25 kilometres to the north.
The fish market along Corso del Popolo claims to be one of the oldest continuously operating markets in the world, with records of organised fish trading here dating to the 14th century. Chioggia's fleet remains one of the largest in the upper Adriatic, specialising in clams (vongole), cuttlefish, and sole. The town played a central role in the War of Chioggia (1378-1381), the decisive conflict between Venice and Genoa for supremacy over Mediterranean trade routes, when Genoese forces occupied the town before being besieged and defeated by the Venetian fleet.
Sottomarina's wide sandy beach stretches several kilometres southward and draws summer visitors from the Veneto interior. Venice Marco Polo airport is approximately 50 kilometres north, and Padua can be reached in about 45 minutes by car via the A13. The Chiesa di San Domenico on its own island at the edge of the old town holds a painting attributed to Vittore Carpaccio, and the 11th-century cathedral dedicated to Santa Maria Assunta was rebuilt by Baldassare Longhena in the 17th century.
