Poveglia is a tiny island located between Venice and Lido in the Venetian Lagoon, Italy. In 421 Poveglia was designated as a safe haven for people fleeing from the barbaric invaders. Since then it has had a varied and sometimes strange fate, as when the families of two hundred followers of Doge Pietro Tradonico (864) transferred there after he was slain in a conspiracy by the nobles, and they were at loggerheads with the new doge. They formed a close-knit and tenacious community that led the island to prosperity and almost independence; a community that survived both the deportations carried out by the Republic and the sharp decline of the island - abandoned at the time of the War of Chioggia between Venice and Genoa (1378).
Poveglia Island near Venice--is so scary that no tourists are allowed to step foot on it.
