Andrea Bafile links Jesolo Lido’s main commercial street with a monument in central Piazza Brescia. Via Bafile runs through the city’s shopping and social life. Shops, restaurants, places to relax, events and gatherings surround this busy setting. The monument keeps a military story beside everyday seaside activity.

Andrea Bafile served as a lieutenant in the Italian navy during the First World War. He died in 1918 at Cortellazzo after a reconnaissance mission near Revedoli. His group crossed the Piave to gather information about Austro-Hungarian defensive positions. He also rescued a sailor stranded on the enemy shore. Italy awarded him a posthumous gold medal for military valour after that action.

The bronze bust stands on a masonry base shaped like a vessel, with an anchor and rudder. Those maritime details connect the Piazza Brescia memorial to his naval service. His remains first lay at the military cemetery in Via Ca’ Gamba before reaching a mausoleum in Guardiagrele. That compact arrangement leaves you with a bust, a vessel, an anchor and a rudder among Jesolo’s daily movement.
