  • An Exclusive Journey to an Iconic Resort Rooms & Suites
    AN EXCLUSIVE JOURNEY TO AN ICONIC RESORT ROOMS & SUITES The unique Moorish style that characterizes the Hotel Excelsior is present in all its 197 spacious guestrooms, of which 8 are junior suites and 15 suites. All accommodation offers external views: over the emerald sea, over Venice and the lagoon, or over the tranquil Moorish courtyard and fountains. Finished to an impressive 5-star standard, each features a Smart TV and comfortable high quality mattress to guarantee you a great night’s sleep. Wi-Fi is free throughout the property. AN EXCLUSIVE DESTINATION The Hotel Excelsior was built at the turn of the century, the realised VENICE LIDO desire of visionary entrepreneur Nicolo Spada and world-class architect Giovanni Sardi. It opened on July 21st 1908 to great acclaim, with a lavish oceanfront party for over 3,000 guests from around the globe. Its creators aimed to transform Venice Lido into a fashionable, glamorous destination for the discerning traveller both national and international, utilising its unique beach setting, ample space and breath-taking views to maximum effect. After 18 months of building work, their dream resort was complete: a grand, Belle Epoque style palazzo featuring elabora- te Moorish design elements, with manicured gardens, an immaculate sandy beach and endless rows of private cabanas on one side and the emerald waters of the Venice Lagoon to the other. The hotel quickly became a Lido landmark, the must visit destination for the rich, famous and often royal. Today, over a century since its glorious opening, this 5-star destination remains an idyllic retreat for those seeking hospitality, luxury and glamour rarely seen since the Golden Age.

  • Are Four Centuries of Systemic Segregation Coming to an End?
    EOTVOS LORAND UNIVERSITY European Master’s Degree in Human Rights and Democratization 2016/2017 Are Four Centuries of Systemic Segregation Coming to an End? A socio-historical analysis of custodial care with case studies on deinstitutionalisation of children with disabilities in Bulgaria and Serbia. Author: Lazar Stefanović Supervisor: prof. Dr. Katalin Tausz ABSTRACT This study encompasses the phenomenon of institutionalisation of persons with mental disabilities in a holistic manner, from its rise to the fall as the only mainstream form of care for this group. The phenomenon of the period of “great confinement” with regards to persons with mental disorders determined the later development of custodial care systems; hence my thesis examines wrongness of the inveteracy of punitive and control oriented care that was long taken for granted. The perception of mental disorders progressed significantly after the aforementioned period; still today we are able to detect worryingly outdated approaches to mental disability as well as some features of the custodial care that were present a few centuries ago. A significant breakthrough happened with introduction of somewhat vague concept of dignity that allowed theorists and lawmakers to further develop understanding of this concept and incorporate it in international legal instruments. The position of dignity is examined with regards to realization of the rights of persons with mental disabilities and understanding the importance of autonomy as a prerequisite for dignified life. Ultimately, deinstitutionalisation is a tool by which the society loosens the control established upon the persons with mental disorders a long time ago. The case studies focus on the processes of deinstitutionalisation of children with disabilities in Bulgaria and Serbia.

Aside from their sea-level location, they are both characterized by large populations, valuable 20 infrastructure and real estate, and economic dependence on tourism, as well as the availability of advanced 21 scientific data and technological expertise. Yet their responses have been quite different. We examine the 22 biophysical environments of the two cities, as well as their socio-economic features, administrative 23 arrangements vulnerabilities and responses to sea level rise and flooding. Our study uses a qualitative approach 24 to illustrate how adaptation policies have emerged in these two coastal cities. Based on this information, we 25 critically compare the different adaptive responses of Venice and Miami and suggest what each city may learn 26 from the other, as well as offer lessons for other vulnerable coastal cities.

    Di laguna in laguna: le carte nautiche della provincia di Venezia Provincia di Venezia - Assessorato al turismo www.turismo.provincia.venezia.it Azienda di Promozione Turistica della Provincia di Venezia Ambito Turistico di Venezia www.turismovenezia.it Ambito Turistico di Bibione e Caorle www.bibionecaorle.it www.caorleturismo.it Ambito Turistico di Jesolo ed Eraclea www.turismojesoloeraclea.it Ambito Turistico di Chioggia www.chioggiatourism.it Le vie navigabili nella Provincia di Venezia Nel territorio tra il Delta del Po e la Laguna di Caorle si estende un’ampia area costiera, che spesso è conosciuta dai visitatori della regione soltanto per la presenza di una città famosa come Venezia. Tuttavia l’intera fascia costiera merita di essere scoperta, se si vuole conoscere il vero volto delle isole e dei paesaggi lagunari e fluviali. La costa dell’Adriatico Settentrionale assunse definitivamente la forma attuale circa seimila anni fa quando, tra il Delta del Po e il Carso friulano, si formò una catena di dune costiere che limitavava vaste lagune spesso sommerse dai fiumi. Gli etruschi furono i primi a scavare canali per creare vie di navi- gazione artificiali all’interno della linea costiera. In questo modo era possibile navigare anche in condizioni di cattivo tempo. I romani in seguito proseguirono questi lavori, amplian- do la rete dei fiumi e dei canali da Ravenna sino ad Aquileia in Friuli, e iniziarono un’opera di bonifica dei territori paludosi attorno alle lagune. Testimonianze di questi interventi si ritrovano in Romagna e ad est di Padova nel cosiddetto “Decumano”. Con la caduta dell’impero romano le vie d’acqua furono utilizzate molto poco, anche perché una parte della popolazione si era rifu- giata direttamente sule piccole isole della laguna dove ora sorge Venezia.
