[edit] Changes

The most important error in the previous version concerned the Canale Vena. This canal (see photograph on my site) is only about 5 meters wide, and did not separate Clugia major and minor. Sottomarina, the medieval Clugia minor, is about 600 meters away from the tight group of islands and their canals; again, see my site.

The attribution of the name Clodia to a Clodius is not attested, and may be aetiological; at any rate, which Clodius might have been meant is unknown (and notice where that link Clodius leads).

The reference in Pliny was useful, and I restored it; it's the oldest mention of Chioggia to come down to us. Bill 29 June 2005 11:39 (UTC)

I've got no problem with most of your changes. Thanks for clarifying the "Clodius" legend; I've mentioned the clarified version in the article. I've also removed the line about Chioggia having no outstanding buildings, which seems rather POV to me - I'm sure many of Chioggia's residents would disagree! Warofdreams 29 June 2005 15:17 (UTC)
