The settlements of the lagoons — John the Deacon

This chapter from Istoria Veneticorum by John the Deacon is the earliest Venetian description of the main settlements in the lagoons from Grado to Cavarzere.

While it purports to describe the situations just after the Lombard invasion and conquest of Venetia, it is more likely that John the Deacon described the lagoons as they were at his time, around the year 1000.
