Municipality of Venice

The Municipality of Venice covers an area of about 415 square kilometers and is articulated around the two separate centers of Mestre, in the hinterland, and Venice, at the center of the homonymous lagoon, a territory inserted in the Unesco Site “Venice and its Lagoon” upon the act of its registration in 1987. Around 264,919 people are settled in the municipality, which borders on the municipalities of Campagna Lupia, Cavallino-Treporti, Chioggia, Jesolo, Marcon, Martellago, Mira, Mogliano Veneto, Musile di Piave, Quarto d’Alzino, Scorzè and Spinea, and includes six townships (Venezia-Murano-Burano, Lido-Pellestrina, Favaro Veneto, Mestre-Carpenedo, Chirignago-Zelarino and Marghera).
