Locanda Cipriani was created by Giuseppe Cipriani and is still owned by the Cipriani family. Giuseppe Cipriani - the world famous founder of Harry's Bar in Venice, Hotel Cipriani (also in Venice) and that other 'pearl' of the hotel business, fell in love with the enchanting corner of the lagoon known as Torcello in the late 1920s. The Locanda became a literary legend after Ernest Hemingway wrote 'Across the River and Through the Trees' during his stay there. He devoted whole pages of his novel to Torcello and kept a special place in his heart for the island. As a result, the Locanda became a destination of choice for the exclusive world of stars and celebrities who often visited Venice in the post-War era.
