The name Lido di Classe derives from the town of Classe, near Ravenna, the site of an important Roman port.
The viados issue
In 2009, Lido di Classe was the subject of an article in a British newspaper, The Independent, discussing the number of viados (an Italian neologism referring to homosexuals and bisexuals, not necessarily transvestites, who practise prostitution) in the town at the time, which was thought to exceed that of the local resident population.
