EDITORS COMMENTS
Step into the enchanting world of the Roaring Twenties at the Taverna of the Excelsior Palace in Venice Lido, as depicted in this stunning photograph from 1927. The Excelsior Palace Hotel, a luxurious retreat for the fashionable elite, played host to the Taverna restaurant, a popular dining destination known for its casual, laid-back atmosphere. Guests were encouraged to dine in their swimwear or beach pyjamas, embracing the carefree spirit of the holiday season. In this image, a lively scene unfolds as diners enjoy their luncheon amidst the picturesque setting of the Venetian lido. The Taverna's outdoor tables are adorned with crisp white linens and vibrant floral arrangements, while the blue waters of the Adriatic Sea serve as a serene backdrop. The fashionable crowd is a feast for the eyes, with a dazzling array of swimming costumes and beach ensembles on display. From striped bathing suits and polka-dot cover-ups to elegant kimonos and intricately beaded gowns, each guest brings their unique sense of style to the table. The sun-kissed faces and relaxed expressions of the diners speak to the joy and camaraderie that filled the Taverna on this warm, Venetian afternoon. This photograph, taken by renowned illustrator Fortunino Matania, captures the essence of the 1920s Riviera lifestyle – a time of glamour, leisure, and the simple pleasure of good food and company.
