This article contains information about a typical Island in the Venetian Lagoon.
For a list of islands, see Islands.
Definition
An Island, for the purposes of the Venice Project Center, is defined as: "Any piece of land, surrounded by water, which contains human artifacts." The purpose of this definition is to ensure any and all relevant islands are counted within the definition, while removing small, irrelevant islands which may form but are of little to no interest.
Types
An island in the Venetian Lagoon can be categorized as one of three types, based on location and utility:
- Inner City Islands - These Islands make up the City of Venice itself
- Major Lagoon Islands - While not a part of the City of Venice, these islands are inhabited and used by many Venetians
- Minor Lagoon Islands - These are smaller islands which are not part of the City of Venice. They may have been used in the past, but today are largely abandoned or unused.
