4K Walking Tour 🐚 Chioggia (Venice, Italy) 🐚 Travel Vlog 2021

Chioggia is an Italian town of 48,130 inhabitants in the metropolitan city of Venice in Veneto. It is located on the southern edge of the metropolitan city and borders the Venetian lagoon to the north and west, the Adriatic Sea to the east, the mouth of the Adige and the Po delta to the south.
The historic center of the city is located at the southern end of the lagoon, on a group of islets divided by canals and connected by bridges. Unlike Venice, most of the area is passable by cars and public transport. With the nearby Sottomarina, located in the stretch of land that divides the lagoon from the sea, and with the towns of Borgo San Giovanni and Brondolo, it forms a single urban center thanks to the creation of the Island of the Union and its homonymous bridge that crosses the Lusenzo lagoon.
The legend about the origins of Chioggia is connected to that of Aeneas, the mythical Trojan hero who fled the destruction of Troy who sailed for the Mediterranean and then settled in the Latium. Antenore, Aquilio and Clodio also left with Aeneas who, halfway through the journey, separated from their fellow citizen to head towards the Venetian lagoon, founding Padua, Aquileia and Clodia respectively. As proof of this mythical foundation there is the symbol of the city, a rampant red lion on silver, chosen by Clodius himself in memory of his hometown, and the name of the city itself.
The city of Chioggia is the fifteenth among the twenty-seven cities decorated with a Gold Medal as "Meritorious of the National Risorgimento" for the highly patriotic actions carried out by the city in the period of the Italian Risorgimento, or between the uprisings of 1848 and the end of the first world war (1918).
The historic center of Chioggia, when viewed from above, appears in the shape of a fishbone. The city is called the Little Venice for the urban characteristics of the ancient area very similar to that of Venice, the Venetian capital to which the city is connected.
In Chioggia there are, like Venice, streets, squares and canals. The main one, from the tourist point of view due to the typicality of the palaces and churches that overlook it, is the aforementioned Canal Vena, crossed by nine bridges, in many ways similar to those present in Venice.
The most imposing is the Ponte Vigo which closes the canal close to the lagoon leading to the homonymous square facing the station of the boats to Pellestrina and in which stands a high column surmounted by the Lion of St. Mark, a symbol of Venetian pride but ironically called by the Venetians. el gato (the cat) because of much smaller size than the lion of Venice, the famous "quarrel" between Venetians and Chioggiotti, the latter being offended by the contempt that this name precludes.
The church of Sant'Andrea, dating back to the eighteenth century, has at its side a Romanesque tower, called the Clock Tower, dating back to the eleventh century and, at one time, a defense and military watchtower. Inside it has the oldest tower clock in the world made by Giovanni Dondi dell'Orologio (recent studies have shown its pre-existence to that of Salisbury).
Enjoy the walk!
