Encyclopedic overview
The Venetian Lagoon, also Venice Lagoon or Lagoon of Venice, is an enclosed bay of the Adriatic Sea, in northern Italy, in which the city of Venice is situated. Its name, from a Venetian derivative of Latin lacus 'lake', has become the generalized English term for any enclosed, shallow embayment of salt water – a lagoon.
