The Island of the Lagoon of Venice, Torcello:

Founded between the V and the VI centuries Torcello became a flourishing colony, but with the coming of Venice the island had a slow decline.

Today in Torcello there are only 60 inhabitants and as testimony of the ancient magnificence remain the Byzantine cathedral and the church of S. Fosca.
