The
Bacchiglione (, "Little
Medoacus") is a river that flows through
northern Italy. It rises in the
Alps and empties about later into the
Gulf of Venice on the
Adriatic Sea near
Chioggia. It flows through and past a number of cities, including
Vicenza and
Padua. It acted for many centuries as a significant waterway up to
Vicenza, above which it ceases to be navigable. It was connected in the 19th century to the
Adige by a canal.
