EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of the Roaring Twenties at the Taverna restaurant of the Excelsior Palace Hotel on Venice Lido. This photograph, taken in 1929, offers a glimpse into the informal and carefree dining experience that was a popular draw for society members and travelers alike. The Excelsior Palace Hotel, a grand establishment located on the sandy beach of the Venice Lido, was renowned for its elegant facilities and luxurious accommodations. Yet, the Taverna restaurant, with its casual and unpretentious atmosphere, provided an appealing alternative to the formal dining rooms. As seen in this image, diners at the Taverna embraced the relaxed ambiance, often coming straight from the beach in their swimwear or pyjama suits. The fashionable attire of the era is on full display, with women wearing chic bathing costumes and men donning stylish pajamas. The laid-back dress code was a refreshing departure from the strict formalities of the time, allowing guests to truly unwind and enjoy their meals. The Taverna's location on the beachfront offered breathtaking views of the Adriatic Sea, adding to the allure of the dining experience. With the sun casting a warm glow over the water, and the gentle sound of the waves lapping against the shore, it's no wonder that the Taverna became a beloved destination for those seeking a memorable meal in a truly unique setting. This photograph is a captivating reminder of the carefree spirit and fashionable trends of the 1920s, and a testament to the enduring appeal of the Excelsior Palace Hotel and its iconic Taverna restaurant.
