Malamocco is a locality roughly three miles from the southern end of Lido Island and the Malamocco Channel. It is sometimes mis-identified as ''Metamaucum'', though the latter town was located on a nearby island, and was submerged by rising sea levels.〔A previous version of this article identified ''Metamaucum'' as an older name for Malamocco. Some authors do equate the two locations. For example, (Life and Works of Saint Gregentios, Archbishop of Taphar. Albrecht Berger, 2006. ) Others (for example (Handbook for Travelers in Northern Italy, John Murray, and Francis Palgrave, 1869 )) suggests that these were separate locations.〕 Malamocco also refers to one of the three narrow channels in the barrier island chain that separates the Venetian Lagoon with the Adriatic Sea, the other two being the Lido and Chioggia channels. The Malamocco Channel, with a depth of 14 meters, is dedicated to cargo ships making use of the Marghera commercial/industrial port facilitites of the Port of Venice.〔(Port of Venice website )〕 Malamocco has a parish church now devoted to Santa Maria Assunta, but which was originally dedicated to Madonna della Marina, "Our Lady of the Sea". The church dates from the 12th century and is built in Veneto-Byzantine style.〔See: ("Santa Maria Assunta, Malacocco. )〕 It underwent modifications in 1339 and 1557. The belltower has a peal of four bells in the chord of F major, cast in 1803. It can be found in Piazza Maggiore in the picturesque district of Malamocco on Lido. In Malamocco there is also the ponte (bridge) Borgo, the Palazzo Pretorio and a monument in hexagonal form with Pisani family’s coat of arms. The Pisani governed Malamocco around the middle of 1537. The interior of the church is based on one nave and with that dates in part to the 12th century, with 14th and 15th century additions. The 15th-century ''Palazzo del Podestà'' is in Gothic style. Theodatus, the second doge of Venice (742-755), moved the ducal seat from Eraclea to Malamocco, where it remained until 812, when it was moved to the Rialto after the exile of doge Obelerius, who returned with the support of Malamocco in 832, but was defeated and the district burnt. During the period of the Republic, Malamocco was one of nine districts of the ''Dogado''. It was ruled by a ''podestà'' elected for a sixteen-month term. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Malamocco」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
