Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Venetian Republic (a) The Plain. At the head of the Adriatic, between the mountains and the sea, lies that part of the Cisalpine plain which is known as "the Veneto." Its boundaries are the Mincio, the Po to its mouth, the Adriatic to the mouth of the Isonzo, the Isonzo up to the Alps, and then back again to Verona by the line of the Julian, Carnic, Dolomitic and Rhastian ranges. The plain thus enclosed is subdivided into districts, the Veronese, the Padovano, the Polesine, the Marches of Treviso, Friuli (or la Patria and Venezia proper. Along the curving coast-line (roughly speaking, from the Reno to the Isonzo, or from the Alps at Monfalcone to the Apennines near Cesena) lie three great systems of lagoons, or saltwater estuaries - the lagoon of Grado, to the north-east, the lagoon of Venice, in the middle, and the lagoon of Comacchio, to the south-west. The main features of the whole district are the plain and the lagoons; the chief factors are the mountains, the rivers and the sea. As the rivers and mountains made the plain, so the rivers and the sea made the lagoons. The most important fact about the mountains which bound this plain to the north and east is their steepness. The south side of the Alps is the escarped side. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
