The Veneta Coast, the system of navigable waterways that connects the Venetian Lagoon with the Gulf of Trieste in a capillary manner, represents a universe of water awaiting exploration, in search of a nature and culture that are absolutely unique.
Its history is ancient and fascinating. The ancient Romans used navigable rivers and canals to connect major river ports with the Adriatic, serving as exchange points for goods from the North and the Mediterranean. The current Veneta Coast was born in the Middle Ages, utilizing the natural characteristics of the territory, not only to create a communication system but also to structure the landscape, among fishing valleys, embankments, and irrigation canals. During World War I, it was used for the passage of pontoons and military boats. In the 1950s, it played an important role in local economic development; today it is used as a network for local transport and tourism.
