The international sand sculpture festival in Jesolo Lido has kicked off. This annual contest has a different theme every year and this time around it is to illustrate Dante’s Inferno.
Jesolo Lido is a small city near Venice on the East coast of the peninsula, so be aware as you go through the pictures in the gallery, that many Roman gods are used in the sculptures.
If you’re in the area, the sand sculpture festival will be on for you to check out until July 31st.
