  • Tourism in Veneto in 2018
    YEAR 19 - MARCH 2019 UNDERSTANDING VENETO IN FIGURES AND DIAGRAMS Veneto offers tourists a wide range of experiences to enjoy, share and repeat. Indeed, there are infinite combinations of holiday experiences, which only for the sake of simplification are traditionally grouped into five different types: sea, mountain, cities of art, spas and lake. Every experience brings you into contact with the culture, landscape, traditions, local produce and identity of Veneto. In 2017, Veneto had recorded record numbers of tourists and, as we know, it is hard to match up to much higher figures than the trend outlined over the years. However, in 2018, the tourist appeal of Veneto, enhanced by the entrepreneurial skills of local operators and by a structured and collaborative promotion plan, further increased the flow of tourists to the region, welcoming approximately 19.6 million visitors TOURISM IN VENETO IN (+2.2%)1, and over 69.2 million overnight stays 2018: CONFIRMATION OF (+0.2%). In 2018, Veneto saw an greater increase in the number of Italian tourists (+2.8% arrivals and SUCCESS +1.6% in overnight stays). Foreign visitors increased in number (+1.8%) - confirming the strong appeal of Veneto locations - but not with regard to overnight stays (-0.4%). Positive changes are recorded for the non-hotel sector (+4.8% and +0.5%), whereas interest in the hotel sector increase (+0.8% arrivals) whilst the number of overnight stays remains stable (-0.1%). Please note that these statistics relate only to those who stay for at least one night, i.e. guests staying in accommodation for holidays, business, health, medical care, sporting or religious purposes etc.

  • Documents from the Salo Republic
    Fiona Barnard Section name Library Documents from the Salò Republic Special Collections featured item for July 2008 by Fiona Barnard, Rare Books Librarian. Documents from the Salò Republic (MS 1724). Collection held at the University of Reading Special Collections Service. The Republic of Salò, or the ‘Italian Social Republic’, marked the final years of Fascism in Italy, and also the final demise and fall of the Italian Fascist leader, Benito Mussolini (1883- 1945). After the Allies invaded Italy in 1943, towards the end of the Second World War, a number of leading Fascists of the Grand Council voted against the Duce’s continuing control of the war effort. By this time, the monarchy, a number of members of the Fascist government and the Italian people in general, had grown weary of Italy’s futile war effort, which had forced the country into a position of subordination and subjugation under Nazi Germany. Following the vote against Mussolini, King Victor Emmanuel dismissed him from office, and had him arrested. Coat of arms of the Italian Social Republic ©University of Reading 2008 Page 1 Benito Mussolini and Adolf Hitler during an official visit to occupied Yugoslavia. Mussolini was held in detention in a hotel in the Abruzzi mountains. However, on 12 September 1943, a German air-force unit rescued the imprisoned Duce, and later took him to Germany for an audience with Adolf Hitler. The German Fűhrer still appeared to have some personal affection for Mussolini (shown above, with Hitler), and declared to him that they were the ‘two best hated men in the world’.

  • Visiting Lake Garda and Mount Baldo Dr. Law Chi Lim Lake Garda
    Visiting Lake Garda and Mount Baldo Dr. Law Chi Lim Lake Garda, midway between Venice and Milan in Northern Italy , is the largest and one of the most beautiful of the Italian lakes. Formed through glacial movement in the Paleolithic era , it is fed on all sides through the valleys of the Dolomites mountains. As early as 56 B.C., the Romans were coming here for the clearness of its waters and mildness of its climate. The Roman poet Catullus wrote about and praised the beauty of the ancient fortified town of Sirmione , located on the southern side of the lake, and spoke of a villa he had in the area. Today , visitors can still see a Roman spa ruin named the Grotte di Catullo (Grottoes of Catullus) there , although there is no evidence linking Catullus to this particular structure. Another famous promontory into the lake is the San Vigilio also chosen by the Romans to build their resort there. Through the centuries, kings and queens from all over Europe have been attracted by the beauty of the place .The hotel there, , the Locanda San Vigilio, has been receiving visitors since the 5th century. The property even has its own pier, and perhaps the most elegant way to arrive there is by boat while your luggage gets there by car. The hotel also has a good restaurant. Not exactly Michelin-star stuff but the cooking is good, and the portions generous. Do not miss the wonderful view of the setting sun from the pier where there are tables and chairs where one can enjoy the sunset with a drink and some snacks.
