The tourist complex of Latisana Marittima, in the town of Latisana, few kilometers from the beaches of Lignano Sabbiadoro - in the province of Udine, and Bibione - in the province of Venice, is located within the lagoon of Marano.
The resort is divided between the municipalities of Latisana and of Marano Lagunare.
The village takes its name from the construction company "Aprilia Marittima SPA" that in the early 70s created it from nothing thanks to the initiative of some businessmen of the place.

Aprilia is the nautical and touristic area of Latisana. With its docks, the more than 2,500 berths for boats from 7 to 25 meters, the dry marina and its services for storage and maintenance, its Terramare, swimming pools, green areas and high quality services for tourists, has become one of the largest ports in Europe.
The Dock overlook the lagoon and through channels, partly natural and partly artificial, moored boats can reach the open sea entrance to the port of Lignano Sabbiadoro and reach the open sea. There are different solutions of housing and services for tourists: 3 appartment-rental agencies, a camping, one bed&breakfast, swimming pools, supermarkets, tennis courts, tobacconists, and much more.

NAUTILIA
the exhibition of second-hand/used boats
Every year in October, the Ente Fiera "Cantieri di Aprilia" organizes "Nautilia", one of the exhibitions of used boats and vessels more appreciated at international level.
Nautilia differs from all other nautical exhibitions organized in Italy by the number of visitors and exhibitors, who come from all over the world, but mainly because it is the only Nautical Show where the boats are placed on land. In this way, buyers can inspect the real condition of the craft, check the rudders and the propellers, thus avoiding additional costs for following towages. The exhibition draws a lot of "sailors" or would-be sailors for two weeks, the boats measure from 7 to 20 mt. and are divided into: 20% sailing boats, 75% motor boats and the remainder 5% motorsailer. The exhibition is a real "secon-hand showcase" attracting every year more than 15000 visitors and more than 40 professional national and international brokers.
There is a considerable number of business which are concluded every year.
