The island was expanded next to Fisolo , Campana , Ex Poveglia in the south of the lagoon, and Campalto , Tessera , Carbonera , Buel del Lovo (Batteria San Marco) in the middle lagoon. These were mostly built at the crossing points of the lagunar canals in order to block the passage if necessary. In the penultimate year of the Republic of Venice 1796 , the responsible Provveditore alla Lagune ed ai Lidi , Zuannezuto, mentioned the fortifications, which were still wooden at that time .
