[it] Sacca Sessola

Sacca Sessola (Saca Sesoła in dialetto veneziano), è fra le isole più grandi (16,03 ettari) e più giovani della Laguna di Venezia. Isola artificiale, realizzata nella Laguna Sud, sulla Codas di Reziol, un ramo del Canale Rezzo, nel 1870 con il materiale degli scavi per il porto commerciale di Santa Marta. Sacca Sessola venne destinata a deposito di combustibili e quindi convertita a fini agricoli, con orti e vigneti. Una sacca è appunto un'isola artificiale, creata tramite l'interramento di un bacino acqueo (ricordiamo anche Sacca Fisola e Sacca San Biagio), mentre sessola deriva dal fatto che essa assunse una forma simile a quello di uno strumento tipico veneziano per eliminare l'acqua dalle barche.
