The history of Ottava Presa
The toponymy of Ottava Presa dates back to the 17th century, when the government of the Republic of Venice divided the inland territory of Caorle into several "prese", or pieces of land, to be sold to Venetian nobles to raise money for the state coffers. Even today, Ottava Presa is the only area in the territory of Caorle to maintain this ancient toponymy.
