It is the Lido di Venezia. There are other 'lido's' as this is just
a word for shore or edge of the land. The heart of Venice is made up
of islands interconnected via canals. The area on the mainland shore is
the 'Lido'. The fact that the main parts of the old city ended up
spanning island's is directly attributable to Genghis Kahn's Mongol
predecessor Attila the Hun who chased the original Venetians there.
