EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken circa 1895, transports us back in time to the Lido in Venice, Italy. The image showcases the picturesque Lido Hotel building, with its elegant facade and red-tiled roof, nestled among the lush greenery and sandy beaches. The serene atmosphere is further enhanced by the presence of bathers, who are seen enjoying the crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic Sea. The Lido, an island located at the eastern end of the Venetian Lagoon, was a popular destination for tourists and locals alike during the late 19th century. The area was renowned for its health-giving properties, and the opening of the first permanent bathing establishment in 1846 further solidified its reputation as a place of relaxation and rejuvenation. In this photograph, we can see several swimmers, both men and women, taking a dip in the sea. They are dressed in their swimming attire of the time, which typically consisted of long-sleeved bathing suits for women and shorter trunks for men. The swimmers are spread out across the beach, some wading in the shallow waters while others dive in from the pier. The Lido Hotel, which can be seen in the background, was a luxurious establishment that catered to the affluent travelers of the era. It offered its guests a range of amenities, including comfortable accommodations, delicious meals, and access to the beach and bathing facilities. The hotel's proximity to the water made it an ideal place to stay for those seeking to enjoy the health benefits of the sea and the sun. This photograph is a beautiful testament to the enduring allure of the Lido in Venice and the simple pleasures of a day at the beach. It invites us to imagine the sights, sounds, and sensations of a bygone era, and to appreciate the timeless beauty of the Italian coastline.
