| Lagoon of Marano |
|
|
The lagoon of Marano is fed nearly exclusively from rivers (Stella, Turgnano, Cormor, Zellina, Horn, Ausa, Natissa, Tiel), extends for 7,300 hectares, while the second one, more salmastra because of nearly the nonexistent contribution of water course, covers one surface of 8.800 hectares. Altogether, the lagoon comprensorio extends for approximately 16.000 hectares, of which nearly 2,400 of lands emerged. The landscaped and naturalistic wealth is testified from the presence, inside of wraps lagoon, of three regional natural reserves: the natural reserve of the Foci of the Stella, the natural reserve of Cavanata Valley, natural reserve of the Foce of the Isonzo (Island of the Cona). The first, already famous as avifaunistica Oasis of Lagoon Marano, occupies a surface of 1.377 hectares and of fact it covers the entire surface of the mouth of river Stella: it has been declared in the 1976 “Oasis of faunistic shelter”, in the 1979 “humid Zone of international value following the Convention of Ramsar”, constitutes “Area of natural protection” for the Region Friuli-Venice Julia. |

| Venice |
|
|
| Venezia, La Serenissima, Queen of the Adriatic, city of canals and palaces...or tawdry sewer alive with crowds and charlatans? Venice's nature is dual: water and land, long history and doubtful future, airy delicacy and dim melancholy. When this precious place sinks, the world will be the poorer. For a thousand years the city was one of the most enduring mercantile sea powers on the face of the earth. Today the brilliance and influence have long since faded, leaving a town of tarnished glories, out of time and out of place, so achingly beautiful it's hard not to look for the back of the set. |

An ancient plant of Palmanova in the Correr Museum of Venice.Palmanova is famous for its fortress-like plant and structure, imitated in the Modern era by numerous military architects.On October 7, 1593, the superintendent of the Republic of Venice founded a revolutionary new kind of settlement: Palmanova. The city’s founding date commemorated the victory of European forces (supplied primarily by the Venetian republic) over Ottoman Turks in the Battle of Lepanto. October 7 also celebrated Saint Justina, chosen as the city’s patron saint. Using all the latest military innovations of the 16th century, this tiny town was a fortress in the shape of a nine-pointed star, designed by Vincenzo Scamozzi. In between the points of the star, ramparts protruded so that the points could defend each other. A moat surrounded the town, and three big, guarded gates allowed entry. The outer line of fortifications was completed under the Napoleonic domination. From 1815 to 1866 the city was under Austria, and was annexed 50 years later to Italy together with Veneto and the western Friuli. In 1960 Palmanova was declared national monument. |
