The story
The story of Campagna Lupia
On Venice's Southern Lagoon
Campagna Lupia faces Venice's southern lagoon, an area less known than the central basin but of great environmental interest, characterized by fish valleys, salt marshes, and canals. The municipal territory combines reclaimed farmland with wetland areas that remain largely intact.
The WWF Valle Averto Oasis
The main point of interest in the municipality is the WWF Valle Averto Oasis, a protected area occupying a portion of a historic fish valley converted to environmental conservation. The oasis offers nature trails, observation hides, and educational activities related to birdwatching, making it one of the most significant wetlands of the southern Venice lagoon.
Fish Valleys and Lagoon Tradition
The fish valleys of the territory, historically managed for the extensive farming of lagoon fish, are a distinctive feature of the local landscape and culture. Their management, requiring a balance between fresh and brackish water, has over time also helped preserve valuable habitats for numerous species of waterbirds.
Land Reclamation and Rural Landscape
Alongside the lagoon, Campagna Lupia's territory includes agricultural areas obtained through reclamation works, with grain and vegetable farming. This dual character, between water and cultivated countryside, defines the entire municipality and makes it representative of the transition between mainland and lagoon typical of the southern Venice area.
