Dolo Italy

Dolo is a town and comune in the province of Venice, in the Veneto region of Italy. It is one of the towns along the Riviera del Brenta. The town’s growth is linked to the decline of Venice’s maritime power. Dolo’s economic importance has always been connected to its water mills, which processed wheat from the surrounding farmland. Drinking water was also transported from Dolo to the centre of Venice. The area underwent extensive hydraulic works designed mainly to prevent the gradual flooding of the lagoon and to preserve the city of Venice. The water level of the navigable waterways was regulated by a system of locks, which can still be seen today in the centre of Dolo.
