Science - Geography / ingegneria civile | | Italian term or phrase: insula di Chioggia | dunque, trattasi di un bilancio consolidato nel quale vengono menzionate le varie controllate e ciò che fanno:
"la XXYYZZ s.r.l., per l’esecuzione di specifici interventi – consistenti nella difesa dell’insula di Chioggia (VE), nella riapertura del canale Perottolo e nel risanamento delle aree limitrofe al quartiere Tombola in Chioggia...."
ecco, questo è il tipo di lavoro http://www.somit.it/it/lavori-lagunari-a-chioggia.html
so che si rivelerà un dubbio ridicolo, so ben che Chioggia è un isola, ma mi viene un dubbio tremendo che magari si tratti di un espressione tecnica di qualche sorta (anche se sono quasi sicura che si tratti solo di un desiderio di fare i "sofisticati" e invece di dire isola scrivono insula...ma magari mi sbaglio, e perciò vi chiedo conferma)
grazie! |

| | English translation:island of Chioggia | Explanation:
Thanks to Tom for his explanation of why it's "insula" rather than "isola", but I don't think this distinction is meaningful for translation purposes. |

| Grading comment thank you phil, and thanks Tom, for both your ideas and explanations - thing is, it doesn't necessarily need to be a historic centre, I also found insula di Rialto, insula di Murano - always in the context of "risanamento" of certain areas of the lagoon.

8 mins confidence:   | insula (di Chioggia) the historic centre of Chioggia
Explanation:
I would say this. If you start trying to explain to your English-speaking reader why it's called the "insula" you'll wander a long way from the main thrust of the document.
