Once a marshy hinterland, Catene transformed into a bustling suburb of Venice. Catene witnessed significant changes throughout the centuries. You might be surprised to know that the origin of the name “Catene” is still a bit of a mystery. Some say it refers to the chains used to mark the area’s boundaries, while others believe it’s linked to the canals that once flowed here. Despite facing severe destruction during World War II, Catene rose from the ashes. The old church, tragically bombed, made way for a new symbol of resilience, a new parish church. This church, completed in 1980, stands as a testament to the enduring spirit of Catene and its people.
