The Bacchiglione (Latin: Medoacus Minor, "Little Medoacus") is a river that flows in Veneto, northern Italy. It rises in the Alps and empties about 90 miles (140 km) later into the Brenta River near Chioggia.[1] It flows through and past a number of cities, including Vicenza and Padua.[1] It acted for many centuries as a significant waterway up to Vicenza, above which it ceases to be navigable.[1] It was connected in the 19th century to the Adige by a canal.[1]
