The palace is an iconic and distinctive element of the Lido of Venice where design, art and technology blend into welcoming and original spaces. Iconic place of the Belle Epoque.
A stop is made here in front of the island of Lazzaretto Vecchio, one of the islands that the Venetians during the plague era in the sixteenth century used as a hospital for the sick and travelers from the Crusades.

About Venice
Venice floats on a lagoon of more than a hundred islands, a city of canals, palaces and bridges with no cars, where every walk ends somewhere unexpected.
The Grand Canal sweeps through the city in a great reversed S, lined with palaces and crossed by the Rialto Bridge. Near its mouth, Piazza San Marco gathers St Mark's Basilica with its golden mosaics, the Doge's Palace, the Bridge of Sighs and the tall brick campanile. Water buses and gondolas show the city from the angle it was built to be seen.
Top-ranked sights in Venice: St. Mark's Square (Piazza San Marco), St. Mark's Basilica (Basilica di San Marco), Grand Canal.
