Marano Lagunare Italy

Marano Lagunare is a town in the Province of Udine, in the Italian region Friuli-Venezia Giulia. Marano Lagunare borders the following municipalities: Carlino, Grado, Latisana, Lignano Sabbiadoro, Muzzana del Turgnano, Palazzolo dello Stella, Precenicco, San Giorgio di Nogaro. The small village not only has the largest fishing fleet in Friuli, but also the largest fish market in the region. Marano Luganare was settled by the Romans and was a fortified base in the days of the Doge’s Republic of Venice. Today the village is not only a holiday destination but still plays an important role in the processing of tuna. "Millenaria" is what the locals call it, more to emphasize its importance than to give it a precise age. You can already see it when sailing from afar, peeping out on this suspended place, which immediately appears to be a world of its own; beginning with its position gathered between the last coastal point of Lignano and the Grado Lagoon and protected from the open sea by a series of islands and islets, such as those of Martignano and Sant'Andrea, also known as the Island of the shells.
