Jesolo Lido

The sandy embrace that protects the Venetian lagoon from the Adriatic sea stretches from Chioggia to Jesolo Lido (Veneto), interrupted only by a few marine and river outlets. But only Jesolo Lido directs all its length at noon, twelve kilometers of golden beach, which the sun kisses relentlessly from dawn to dusk, where the tide rises and falls drawing the double damp and burning band every day.Closed between the river Piave to the east and the Sile to the west, Jesolo Lido sparkles all its jewels among the squares Rivoalto, Milan, Tommaseo, Drago, Carducci, Mazzini, Aurora, Marina and Nember. Each of these squares is linked to a district of fire and flames in the summer time, due to the extreme vitality of the holiday makers and the luminous heat mitigated by the sea air.From the mid-nineteenth century only the Lighthouse, erected on the ancient mouth of the Piave (now they flow the waters of Sile), dominated the blazing Adriatic beach, but from the beginning of the sixties the condominium Airone arose, of thirteen floors, the first of a long series of skyscrapers of Jesolo Lido.The Lido of Jesolo is considered the longest pedestrian coast in Europe, populated by over one thousand two hundred shops, bars and restaurants that give a dreamlike atmosphere to its commercial street, via Bafile above all, for all children who do not want to grow up.The images collected in this book hope to convey the same emotions that you experience while living even a few days in the magical world of Jesolo Lido.
