Sestieri Di Venezia
A (plural: ) is a subdivision of certain Italian towns and cities. The word is from (‘sixth’), so it is thus used only for towns divided into six districts. The best-known example is the ''sestieri'' of Venice, but Ascoli Piceno, Genoa, Milan and Rapallo, for example, were also divided into ''sestieri''. The medieval Lordship of Negroponte, on the island of Euboea, was also at times divided into six districts, each with a separate ruler, through the arbitration of Venice, which were known as ''sestieri''. The island of Crete, a Venetian colony (the "Kingdom of Candia") from the Fourth Crusade, was also divided into six parts, named after the ''sestieri'' of Venice herself, while the capital Candia retained the status of a ''comune'' of Venice. The island of Burano north of Venice is also subdivided into ''sestieri''. A variation of the word is occasionally found: the ''comune'' of Leonessa, for example, is divided into or sixths. Other Italian towns with fewer than six o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
