For many, the Lido is strongly attached to a memory of Visconti's film, Death in Venice, filmed at the Hotel des Bains. A refined vacationing resort, the Lido is famous for its Film Festival, the Mostra, created in 1932. From the lagoon to the sea, a long avenue crosses the offshore bar. On the waterfront, the Lungomare Marconi leads to prestigious palaces, with their colorful cabins, to the Casino and to the Cinema Palace. Here and there, sumptuous villas are spread out in the greenery. Undergoing renovation in preparation for the 150th anniversary of Italian Unification in 2011, the Lido will be treated to a new "porta d'acqua", designed by Pierfrancesco Fugali and Luca Gasperini, and a new Palazzo del Cinema e dei Congressi, a Franco-Italian project by architects 5 + 1AA & Rudy Ricciotti.
