Curated Itinerary
Liberty and Rationalist Architecture in Venice Lido
The Lido is where Venice went modern. Walk its seafront and back-streets and two eras argue in plaster and reinforced concrete: the flowered balconies of Belle Époque Liberty villas, then the stripped geometry of 1930s Rationalism at the Casinò, the Palazzo del Cinema and Nicelli airport. This eight-kilometre route follows the island from lagoon to open sea.
