Lido delle Nazioni

History and facts

They say that Giuseppe Garibaldi landed here on August 3rd 1849, in the “Pialazza” or “Pialassa”, name that comes from a wind called “pia e lassa” (grabs and leaves). The cabin where he stayed with dying Anita, as a fugitive, is still there.

Lido delle Nazioni has wide streets, a lot of greenery and shops for a pleasant shopping after a day at the beach.

The beaches are easily reachable by the shore and there are lots of activities for children, like slides, swings and swimming pools.

Its big artificial lake, called Lago delle Nazioni, is the sporting heart of the coast. In its hundred hectares brackish basin there are eels and mullet. Every year it hosts all water sports such as water skiing, competitive sailing, canoeing and many other initiatives related to running, cycling and horse riding.

Not only the Lake, but also the central Piazza (square) Italia is a reference point for Lido delle Nazioni. This square looks like an amphitheatre and is the ideal place for outdoor shows. It is a meeting point with shops and the scene of most of the summer events, particularly of the Notte Rosa (the Pink Night).

Lido delle Nazioni is sea, sun, nature, relax, good cuisine focused on very fresh fishes.
