Venice's Lido is an 11-mile (18 km) long sandbar, home to about 20,000 residents, greatly augmented by the (mainly Italian) tourists who move in every summer. The island's casino has recently closed down - it used to operate in the summer months, moving to Palazzo Vendramin Calergi in Venice for the winter. The Venice film festival takes place at the Lido every September.
