A ''fondamenta di carico'' is simply any strip of sidewalk along a [[Canal|canal]] where there is the ability for a boat to secure itself to the [[Docks|dock]]. One way to think about a ''fondamenta di carico'' is as a loading zone where spots are convenient for people such as [[Cargo|cargo]] drivers to unload their deliveries from their boat. Drivers are able to load and unload their boats to islands without having it protrude into the canal. Not having a dock that protrudes into the [[Canal|canal]] is important for some parts of Venice because some [[Canal|canals]] are narrow and if the [[Docks|dock]] protruded into the [[Canal|canal]], it could cause that [[Canal|canal]] to be inaccessible to other boats.<ref>Duffy, Jill, Justin Gagliardi, Kate Mirtle, and Amanda Tucker.

This article contains information about a typical Venetian fondamenta.
A fondamenta di carico/scarico, is a strip of sidewalk (fondamenta) along a canal where it is possible to temporarily dock a boat for unloading and loading. What makes it possible for a boat to dock to a section of a fondamenta is the availability of rings or poles to tie the boat to.[1]
