Chioggia

Chioggia (キオッジア) is a coastal town and  of the province of Venice in the Veneto region of northern Italy. It is to the west of the Adriatic Sea and is where Orsola Aquinas lived most of her life during her time with the Roman Catholic Church.

Background
It is 20 kilometers south of the main island of Venice. It's accomodations aren't cheap; the town lacks a night life, as all the shops in Venice close rather early.

The town, like Venice, uses gondolas and ships on its canals, however, it doesn't contain tourist boats. Unlike Venice however, one can drive around in Chioggia.

History
Chioggia and Venice were originally competetive sea city states, and fought several times. However, due to war, politics, calamities, and other sorts of reasons the number of city states that were against Venice, like Chioggia, dwindled until Venice was the only one left. Modern day Italy later emerged and had Chioggia under the the comune of Venice.

Apparently, at least one of the Roman Catholic Church's ice ships of La Regina del Mare Adriatico are somehow hidden deep beneath the narrow waters of the town.
