This article is about the Fondamenta category of docks. For information about Fondamenta category of streets, see Fondamenta.
This article contains information about a typical Venetian fondamenta.
A fondamenta di carico/scarico is simply any strip of sidewalk along a canal where there is the ability for a boat to secure itself to the dock. One way to think about a fondamenta di carico is as a loading zone where spots are convenient for people such as 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 is important for some parts of Venice because some canals are narrow and if the dock protruded into the canal, it could cause that canal to be inaccessible to other boats.[1]
Condition Ratings
When data was taken about each dock, their condition was noted using the scale below.
3 - Good
2 - Average
1 - Poor
0 - Very Poor
Usability Ratings
Another piece of data that was taken about each dock was their usability. Their usability was noted using the scale below.
0 - Difficult to use for structural reasons
1 - Difficult to use with high tide
2 - Difficult to use with low tide
3 - Unusable due to the lack of poles, hooks, or rings
4 - Inaccessible by water
5 - Difficult to utilize
6 - Usable
7 - Inaccessible by land
8 - Inaccessible by land freight wagon
99 - None
