8. The construction of the bell of S. Rocco goes back to 1792. The work of “Scuola Veneta”, stylish and balanced architecture, resembles the bell tower of San Marco in Venice, with vertical but more slender. It’s high around 82 meters. The fear on the part of the Venetian Republic that the new bell tower rise above the lagoon is the same to take a position until this happen. A recent renovation has restored the bell tower of Dolo at original splendor, while also improving the quality of some constituent materials.

22. "Isola del Maltempo" is the old part of Dolo. Closed by two branches of the Brenta, now known as “Isola Bassa”. Its location and the changes of the Brenta are causing flooding and its subsequent isolation during floods caused by bad weather: this should be reported to the origin of the name.
