San Michele al Tagliamento is an Italian Municipality with 11,930 inhabitants in the province of Venice, Veneto, Italy.
SS14, one of the main State Highways (Italy), passes through the commune, whose frazione of Bibione is a popular tourist resort.
Bibione resort has a range of canine facilities, including showers, beds and leashes, as well as Pluto Beach, which is especially for dogs. Together with other northeastern Italian towns by the sea, Bibione is one of the most common tourist destinations for Germans, Austrians and Eastern Europeans.
The neighboring municipalities are Caorle, Fossalta di Portogruaro, Latisana (UD), Lignano Sabbiadoro (UD), Morsano al Tagliamento (PN), Portogruaro, Ronchis (UD) and Varmo (UD).
The first traces of human settlement date back to the 4th and 3rd centuries BC, when the area (now part of the municipality of San Michele al Tagliamento) was populated by the Adriatic Veneti.
From 181 AC onward, the Romans' colonization marked the beginning of the land reclamation and agricultural development of the entire area. Since the end of the 18th century, archaeological excavations have led to the discovery of black and white mosaic floors, copper coins, glass fragments and pottery, which can be traced back to the Roman imperial period.
