Water and waterways - be they a river, a sea, or a lagoon - are the distinguishing feature of the eastern portion of the Veneto region from Portogruaro to Chioggia. Throughout the centuries, all the urban settlements in and around Venice have had to cope with this natural element. The indisputable queen of the waterways is Venice, for all the many reasons which make the city in comparable and impossible to reproduce: first among these is the building technique, which stripped for a moment of its charm and its qualities pictures quegives evidence to the fertiletalents and architectural skills made available to the city throughout the ages. On this same subject,even the driest of statistics balloonswith import: 411 bridges, 118 small islands, and 150 canals (including the Grand Canal, a good 3800 meters [almost 4200 yards] in length) make up the foundation upon which is anchored that miracle of urban planning which is Venice itself. The kaleidoscopic scenario born of an amazing, intricate and harmonious communication network of water and stone casts light and shadows unique in the world upon a city already singular for its heritage of art, history and culture. The influence of this thousand-year-old civilization has shown the capacity and resource to spread beyond the confines of the lagoon and to expand in such a way as to make an unmistakable imprint on the entire Veneto area.
