Appartamento

This is the central Venetian plain between Padova and the Brenta system, with flat agricultural land, drainage canals and dispersed settlements. The Brenta runs nearby to the north-west, and the Riviera del Brenta begins within this area with a chain of villas and riverside settlements along the old water route toward Venice. Mira and Dolo are the nearest larger centres, with everyday services and commuter links toward Padova and Venice. The area is known for the villas of the Brenta and for market-gardening and mixed agriculture on the plain.
