The long, tapered, sandy strips of land that close the Venice lagoon on the eastern side are characterised by vegetation that invades the territory, both opening and expanding and closing and shrinking: the Lido of Venice, which was born on the model of the garden city, dotted with Liberty villas and eclectic palaces, as a testing ground over the centuries, it looks like a large garden, which reaches the beach, sometimes appearing wild and dense, sometimes tame and regular. The natural landscape of the Lido is here interpreted as an English garden of the mid-1700s and early 1800s, where folies, fabriques, pavilions dot the territory: in this interpretation, the Venetian fortifications, in ruins and in good condition, become the follies of this large garden.

The project was developed within the context of the Politectico of Milan.
