Nicelli - CHIUSO In Venezia

A jewel. A great little masterpiece of rationalist architecture, as well as the gateway to Venice for those who practice air tourism. Almost a thousand meters of grass runway, with Avgas 100LL and Jet A-1 available. Possibility of hangar and taxi boat to reach the center of Venice. Unfortunately the last time I landed (June 2024) the beautiful restaurant was closed due to a change of management. The view you have of Venice upon landing is wonderful. The Venice Lido airport (LIPV), named after Giovanni Nicelli, is rightly famous among us pilots, but it is certainly worth a visit also by the normal tourist. Especially if he has an interest in modern architecture.

Incredibly large space, it is well suited for organizing events with high turnout. Convenient to reach from the mainland and from the pier.

It was the first airport to have a scheduled flight, Venice - Vienna in 1926. Beautiful!

Thank you for your active support in getting our plane back up and running again with an empty battery at 46 degrees in the shade 🙏 Many thanks to the two gentlemen who were on duty on Sunday morning 🙏 We are really looking forward to our next visit 😎

Spectacular welcome, restoration of a few years done very well which recalls the period of the time, an airport from which the first Italian scheduled flight left in 1926 (almost 100 years old)! The historical images and the small museum-bunker are very nice
