 Fiesso d'Artico was connected with Venice by a boat called the "Burchiello" through navigable river ways directly up to the Grand Canal.The citizens of Fiesso took an active role in the struggles for the independence of Veneto from the Austro-Hungarian Empire, as well as those for the liberation of Italy from Nazi-fascism during World War II.Fiesso d'Artico is still now one of the most charming views of the Riviera del Brenta, an area known throughout the world for its beauty and richness of art.
