Disciplined
A soldier is disciplined by superior officers inside Fort Carpenedo.
Hidden away in the countryside to the North of Mestre is this fort, built in about 1890 to protect the city of Venice from attack by Austria, one of a string of such forts.
A group of dedicated locals have preserved this once important piece of Italian history.
Open to the public summer months.
