Robert Saikia’s latest book, The Venice Lido, is out now, published by Blue Guides.
In The Venice Lido, Robin Saikia gives an affectionate and lyrical account of the Lido’s history from its early days as a primitive settlement to its heyday as a glamorous beach resort, the setting for Death in Venice and the venue of the Venice Film Festival.
Robert has visited the Lido regularly for over thirty years. The book is a celebration of its spellbinding history and enduring charm – and of the considerable amount of fun that can be had there.
