Etruscans seled here, and in Romans mes the town was called Clodia. Chioggia grew in importance at the same me as the other Venean Lagoon selements, when mainland- dwellers were seeking safer homes. • The town's most famous moment came when it was part of the Venean Republic, and Venice finally defeated Genoa here in the Bale of Chioggia. The town then subsided into a quiet fishing port, which is sll prey much its status today, although the seaside Soomarina area has reinvented itself as a modern beach resort. Apart from the great sea-bale, one other historical event to which you'll see references around town is a local apparion of the Virgin Mary. 9 Chioggia – The City Arsc tour of the City • Chiesa di San Domenico, one of the only tourist sights not on the main street. The church sits on its own lile island, and contains one of Chioggia's greatest treasures: Viore Carpaccio's St. Paul, his last recorded painng. There are also works by Tintoreo and Bassano, and a venerated wooden crucifix. • Chiesa di San Giacomo Apostolo, The building and its decoraon are fruits of an eighteenth-century redesign. Inside, the main altar contains an icon commemorang the appearance of the Virgin Mary to a local peasant in 1508, first on a log washed up on the shore, then aboard a small boat with Jesus in her arms; the log is preserved here. • Chioggia's cathedral, or Duomo, is at the far end of the Corso; a grand building designed by Baldassare Longhena, architect of the Salute church in Venice. The interior is painted white, with solid-looking columns and coloured marble altars. • The Museo Diocesano d'Arte Sacra is around a corner to the right, aer the Duomo. In a smart new building, the museum collects together treasures and oddments from Chioggia's churches. The highlights are two polyptychs aributed to Paolo Veneziano. 10 Chioggia – The City Acvies, excursions and beaches • With only a short transfer by boat and passenger we can reach the hearth of Venice and its wonders. • Tours offered among others: - Venice’s secret corners - Venice on your own - Island of Murano, Burano & St.Mark’s - Gondola and explores St.Mark’s - Padova, city tour and wine tasng • The beach of Soomarina Soomarina now enjoys a wonderful beach, renowned for its sandy terrain which is parcularly well-suited for vegetaon and is today a well-known tourist centre, endowed with modern infrastructure, surrounded by natural greenery. 11 What to see in the sorroundings of Chioggia Venice but also Mantova, Ferrara, Ravenna, Verona, Padova 12 Chioggia: the gateway to Italy’s most fascinang historic towns 13 Mantova, the town of the Gonzagas Mantua is a very ancient town: it has got Etruscan origins, but it flourished in the age of the Communes and, above all, during the long Gonzaga seigniory (1328-1707). The Commune and the short seigniory of Bonacolsi family leo important buildings, such as Palazzo Bonacolsi, Palazzo del Podestà, Palazzo della Ragione, and churches such as San Lorenzo rotunda and Santa Maria del Gradaro. Palazzo Ducale – the Ducal Palace - is the main sign of the Gonzaga seigniory: it is one of the largest Italian palaces, counng about 500 rooms and several internal squares, courtyards and gardens. Here you can admire architectures, such as San Giorgio castle, Domus Nova - by Luca Fancelli - and Santa Barbara palane basilica – by G. B. Bertani - but also magnificent frescoes series, such as in the Camera degli Sposi - which is the masterpiece of Andrea Mantegna -, in the Old Court – by Pisanello – and in the Appartamento di Troia - by Giulio Romano. Not to miss the famous tapestries, whose cartoons were made by Raphael. 14 Mantova, monuments and churches The other magnificent building leo by the Gonzaga family in Mantua is Palazzo Te, which was built and frescoed by Giulio Romano (1525 to 1535): you will surely admire Sala dei Gigan, Amore e Psiche and Cavalli – the rooms illustrang the Fall of the Giants, the Tale of Love and Psyche and Gonzaga's horses. Before geng to Palazzo Te, you should not miss vising the house of Andrea Mantegna, a cube with an inner round courtyard. Along the way, you may also stop at Palazzo di San Sebasano, that was recently restored and today hosts the City Museum. About churches, in late XV century Leon Basta Alber designed the impressive Sant’Andrea basilica and San Sebasano - which is today a monument to the dead -; sll, the different architectural styles and the inner renovaons by Giulio Romano make the cathedral very interesng. Under the rule of Empress Maria Theresa new buildings enriched Mantua: the Episcopal Palace, Palazzo d'Arco and, above all, the Academy Theatre by Bibiena. If you like modern architecture, you can appreciate the profile of Burgo paper factory – designed by P. L. Nervi – from the lakebanks just out of city centre. You can comfortably visit Mantua on foot or by bike: several bikelanes and cycle tracks let you easily move in town and reach neighbouring places. 15 Ferrara the city of Renaissance Lying in the middle of the Po Valley, Ferrara sll has the atmosphere of the past, which blends in harmoniously with the lively atmosphere of the present. Ferrara's most famous image is certainly that of its grand Renaissance, the age of splendour of the Estense court, which has leo indelible signs everywhere: in the colossal Addizione Erculea project, in the impressive pictorial cycles belonging to the Quarocento and Cinquecento and in the Last Judgement by Basanino. From 1995 on, UNESCO has included the historical centre of Ferrara in the list of World Cultural Heritage as a wonderful example of a town planned in the Renaissance and sll keeping its historical centre intact. The town planning criteria expressed in Ferrara had a deep influence on the progress of town planning in the following centuries. From the Middle Ages to today, the area around the Cathedral has always been the focus of the city life. The seat of the various rulers over the years and a commercial and historical area of great importance, the centre is sll the favourite mee7ng place of residents and visitors alike. The original layout of the ancient city, which has been developing along the banks of the river Po, is sll clearly recognizable in the famous area of Via delle Volte. 16 Ferrara The Estense Castle and the Palazzo dei Diaman The Estense Castle In Ferrara in 1385, a dangerous revolt convinced Niccolò II d’Este of the need to erect mighty defences for himself and his family thus the Castello di San Michele was built, a fortress erected against the people. An elevated covered passageway, which sll exists, joined the military building to the marquises’ Palace, today Palazzo Municipale. Later on, the castle became the magnificent residence of the court and was embellished with roof terraces at the top of the towers, marble balconies, the Renaissance style courtyard and apartments. The imposing towers stand out at the four corners of the Castle, symbols of the magnificence of the Este Family: the Torre di Santa Caterina; the splendid Torre dei Leoni, from which it is possible to admire the panorama of Ferrara; the Torre Marchesana; the Torre di San Paolo. The Palazzo dei Diaman The magnificent Palazzo dei Diaman, at the centre of the Addizione Erculea, on the important crossroads known as the Quadrivio degli Angeli belonged to the duke’s brother Sigismondo d’Este.

    CHIOGGIA’S FLEET FISHERY MIGRATION IN THE ADRIATIC SEA BETWEEN THE 19TH AND THE 20TH CENTURIES*. Botter L., Giovanardi O., Raicevich S. ICRAM – Central Institute for Marine Research, Loc. Brondolo, 30015, Chioggia, Italy. Corresponding author: Lisa Botter, [email protected] *This research has been carried out as a part of a survey in the frame of history of Marine Animal Population (HMAP) of the Venetian Lagoon and the Northern Adriatic, directed by Prof. R. Gertwagen, Israel, who was also kind to read and comment on the paper. Abstract Chioggia’s fishing fleet represented historically (mainly in XIX century) one of the most important fleet in the whole Adriatic Sea. For many centuries fishermen belonging to this town were used to exploit several fishing grounds all over this area, migrating along its coastline according to fishing season and climate conditions. In this paper we describe the fishing activity of Chioggia’s fleet between the 19th and the early 20th centuries. Fishing fleet features such as type and number of fishing vessels, fishing gears and spatio-temporal distribution of the fishing activities will be presented along with a description of the main target species caught in different areas. The social-economic implications of such activity, such like conflicts with other fleets, will also be discussed. Introduction Chioggia is located in the southern part of the Venetian Lagoon, along the western shallow sandy coastline of the northernmost part of the Adriatic Sea. This city is connected to the sea by an inlet or “bocca di porto” of the port of Chioggia. Chioggia’s position has encouraged, in the past, salt and fishing activities.

  • Il Rinvenimento Del Ponte Postumio Nel 1891. Contributo Alla Ricerca Archivistica Delle Fonti Archeologiche (*)
    ANDREA BRUGNOLI IL RINVENIMENTO DEL PONTE POSTUMIO NEL 1891. CONTRIBUTO ALLA RICERCA ARCHIVISTICA DELLE FONTI ARCHEOLOGICHE (*) ABSTRACT - Following a major flood in 1882 the course of the river Adige through Verona was altered by a flood prevention scheme which involved backfilling secondary channels and the construction of large stone embankments. During this project a number of archaeological discoveries were made, including evidence of a Roman bridge (the Postumio), which crossed the Adige at the northern end of the principle Roman road through the town (the decumano massimo). The planning department of Verona City Council produced accurate documentation of these findings including a number of drawings with appropriate levels, and a written report on the discovery of foundations and other elements of the Postumio. Most of this information has remained unpub- lished, and can now be reviewed and reconsidered as part of the present discussion of the Postumio’s structure and location. KEY WORDS - Roman Period, Verona, Postumio bridge. RIASSUNTO - In seguito all’alluvione del 1882 il tracciato dell’Adige all’interno di Verona venne ridefinito con l’interramento dei tratti secondari e la costruzione dei muraglioni. Questi interventi furono l’occasione di importanti scoperte archeologiche, tra cui il rinvenimento delle tracce del cosiddetto ponte Postumio, che attraversava l’Adige in prosecuzione del decumano massimo. L’ufficio tecnico del Comune di Vero- na produsse un’accurata documentazione che rimase sostanzialmente inedita. Alcuni disegni e una relazione relativa al ritrovamento delle fondazioni e di alcuni elementi del ponte Postumio, inviati alla Commissione Consultiva di Belle Arti e Antichità, sono tuttora conservati presso l’Archivio di Stato di Verona.
