	Islands of Venice
		Pellestrina is a thin strip of land that stretches for 11 kilometers suspended between the sea and the lagoon.
		Pellestrina is still protected from the vehemence of the sea from one of the most sturdy barriers that the Serenissima Republic of Venice was able to build to save the city: the Murazzi.
		An interesting itinerary is developed from the terminal to the far end of the artificial harbor that leaves open the connection between Venice and the sea, immerging one’s attention into horizons typical of the lagoon and of the old fishermen’s villages of the Littoral of the Cavallino.

	Pellestrina - Wikipedia
		Pellestrina erstreckt sich südlich des Lido (von diesem durch den Malamoccokanal getrennt) in südlicher Richtung bis kurz vor Chioggia.
		Infolge der Feindseligkeiten zwischen Venedig und Chioggia blieben weder von den Bewohnern noch den Häusern nennenswerte Teile unversehrt.
		Es führt ein Radweg von Chioggia über Pellestrina, danach über den Lido und die Insel Sant´Erasmo bis nach Punta Sabbioni auf das Festland.

		Pellestrina, an island in the Venetian lagoon situated between Venice and Chioggia (Veneto – Italy), is a small natural paradise.
		Everyone was invited to participate in the project, creating through this ancient technique, a fragment that represents the whole; or making a personal contribution according to each ones own abilities, contributing to the accomplishment of the goal: the project looks to involve the greatest part of the population, from all age groups.
		The project "A Record for Pellestrina", was initiated last summer, on the occasion of the participation of the Fondazione at the 51st International Exhibition of Art, the Venice Biennale, it will end with an event, which takes place on the island of Pellestrina, June 2007, during the 52nd edition of the Venice Biennale.

	NAUTICALweb - The De Poli clan: family efficiency
		However, while someone else might have sunk, I swam and on my return to Pellestrina, enriched by all that experience and by a discreet knowledge of another 3 languages (English, French and Spanish), my ideas were clear: I wanted to succeed and become someone, even if I didn't know where.
		I like to define Pellestrina as the "outpost of the lost men", and in this sense, those who live on this island, 70% of our workforce, learn to resolve many things on their own, through human relationships and commonsense.
		Now the real limits to expansion of our boatyard are the physical characteristics of the island of Pellestrina, its limited width (200 metres at its widest point and 7 km in length) and the limited width of the through canals.

	Venice Beaches
		The islands of Lido and Pellestrina and the sand beaches of Cavallino and Sottomarina are slowly being scoured away more and more each year due to the rising Adriatic.
		During the summer months, replenishment is less than it was in the past due to the construction of homes and buildings along the shore and the destruction of vital sand dunes.
		Pellestrina was the most narrow of the three islands which bordered the lagoon and was the first to undergo replenishment.

		In the past Venice worked bobbin lace (tombolo) but it was at it height of the 18th century in Pellestrina.
		On beautiful sunny days they set temselves up as usual on the house door to work the lace on the tombolo, and the laces that exited from their industrious hands went to decorate the linen of the lady, of the gentleman and also of the people.
		In Pellestrina, from some years in an ancient building, the A.C.S. " Murazzo " held onto local tradition by organizing a school for lacemaking.

		The villages of Pellestina are charming with their pastel coloured houses and lack of tourist tackiness.
		The Ognissanti Church is the main church of Pellestrina.
		Whilst the beaches of the Lido may be packed in the summer season the beaches of Pellestrina are empty - so at low tide, a walk on the deserted beach at Pellestrina can be made, simply cross over the sea wall where there are convenient steps up to and down to the beach.

		The following are considered parts of the system of coastline: the coastal strips of Jesolo, of Cavallino (Punta Sabbioni, including the island of Treporti), of Lido, of Pellestrina, of Sottomarina (up to the river Brenta) and of Isola Verde.
		The coastline is made up of strips of land which separate the lagoon from the sea.
		It was only in the first half of the 18th century, however, that an overall plan to combat the problem was devised with the construction of the murazzi, stone, defensive sea walls.

	Luglio 24 2002 - News from Campo Gatte
		You can take a bus directly to Chioggia on the mainland from Lido: it winds down the length of the Lido itself, hops directly onto the ferry to Pellestrina (another similarly thin water-break of an island) and another ferry at the other end of that to the mainland itself.
		I managed a there-and-back as far as the Pellestrina ferry before retiring for multiple Camparis, saddle-sore but elated.
		I suppose that one is inevitably spoilt in old Venice: surrounded on all sides by the epic crumbling ruin, but the Lido claims the prize for the best Italian oce cream of the trip...a that's a topic for another day.

	Islands of Venice, Italy and its strategic location
		Venice with its islands of Murano, Burano and Torcello are amongst the many pieces of an intricate jigsaw puzzle thrown haphazardly over the shallow stretch of Laguna Veneta.
		The slim and slender Lido di Venezia lies to the east and makes its way 10 Kilometers to the south to another narrow stretch called Pellestrina, slimming down to the laid-back town of Chioggia.
		Tranquil Pellestrina near the southern most tip of the Lido, is a small island comprising of fishing villages, lace-makers and Murazzi with sea walls of Istrian stone that blocked the lagoon from the Adriatic sea rise till the tragic floods of 1966.

		The murder of two of the clam fishermen of the island of Pellestrina, south of the Lido on the Venetian lagoon, draws Commissario Brunetti into the close-knit community of the island, bound together by a code of loyalty and a suspicion of outsiders worthy of the Mafia.

		There are actually two islands - the Lido and Pellestrina - which, along with the isthmus sticking down from the north, are a natural breakwater that keeps things calm.
		And so we did from the Lido to Pellestrina and then from Pellestrina to the city of Chioggia (after a pedal down the island of Pellestrina).
		The only problem with the execution of what we had planned was the unforeseen delay in ferry service between the Lido and Pellestrina.

		After being destroyed in the 14th century following the " War of Chioggia ", Pellestrina was rebuilt by four noble families who established themselves on the island dividing it into four quarters named after them and contributing to the rebirth of the island.
		Despite the colossal work of the "Murazzi", projected by Vincenzo Coronelli (1716) and completed by B. Zendrini (1744), placed to defend the island and the Venetian lagoon, it was seriously damaged by the 1966 flood.
		The traditional activities of the islands remain shipbuilding, horticulture, fishing and the production of hand-made lace.
