A recovery take for example the “Mulino Stucky”: former factory trasformed into a hotel and private dwellings, that has been coupled with the work of renowned architects like Ignazio Gardella, Gino Valle, Aldo Rossi, Avaro Siza.

Thanks to the works carried out, the island in the island, that till not too long ago was called “the island of selas”, hit by a continuous north wind, is reborn and has become the island of the vips. The island, however, has remained a tranquil place on a human scale. Quite in winter and summer alike. The popular soul has been accompanied by other different souls of the cultural intelligentsia, of artists, literates and of upper sophisticated classes. Today actors can be seen passing their time in the sun, under the Cipriani arbour, free bodyguards and fans.
