Marghera is a municipalità (boroughs) of the comune of Venice, Italy. It includes the industrial area known as Porto Marghera or Venezia Porto Marghera.
The Municipalità di Marghera, one of the six boroughs of Venice's comune, includes 30,000 inhabitants (Marghera alone includes 17,000 inhabitants).
Marghera appeared in 1920, when a part of the town of Mestre (now also a frazione of Venice) was destined to the construction of a commercial and industrial port, as well as of a residential area for its workers. The Enichem fertilizer company operates in Marghera. The name "Marghera", comes from the fact that the area where the present city was built, was once a marine swamp. In the Venetian dialect, in fact, "Mar gh' era" means "There was the sea".
Eagles Airlines has its head office in Marghera.

Hai ragione, non si respira
Hai solo di fronte
un verme sporco
Marghera, alle porte c'avvelena
Come si pu? essere felici
Con la citt? appesa al collo
Vedo il buio,
vedo il nero, respiro fumo
Il male, il dolore
che mi fa restare
Hai ragione tu,
questo mondo,
nessuno lo ama pi?
Hai ragione tu,
questo mondo,
