“an exceptional tide peak that occurs periodically in the northern Adriatic Sea. The term is applied to such tides in the Italian region of Veneto. The peaks reach their maximum in the Venetian Lagoon, where they cause partial flooding of Venice and Chioggia”

Similar to the king tides in the Florida keys? A bartender told me she saw a shark swim through her yard.
Yes, caused by a king tide, though in this case the tide is focused and accentuated by the geography of the Adriatic. This is common in restricted, narrow bodies of water
