Lake Garda
|
The Lake Garda, or Benaco, is the biggest Italian lake; its territory is divided between three regions: Lombardy, Veneto and Trentino-Alto Adige. In the North it is narrow, surrounded by high mountains, while in the South it is wide and encircled by sweet hills that soften the landscape.
The lake is an important touristic destination, and is visited every year by thousands people.
The lake Garda has not been object, like Lake Como was, of a tourism of aristocratic and literary type.
Its huge scenes allow a mass tourism, because of the relatively plain feature of the territory, suitable for the growth of great and numerous receptive centers. The great basin of the lake eases the climate, that is not too cold during the winter and in summer there is not an oppressive heat, thanks also to the typical continuous breezes, that allowed the blooming of sport like sailing and windsurfing.
The towns on Lake Garda shores often rise in impassable and small places, along the coast, and have rests of the ancient fortifications, like the castle of Sirmione or that one of Garda.
Moreover, there are magnificent villas on the lake, most famous of which it is sure the "Vittoriale" of Gabriele D'Annunzio, renowned Italian poet lived between the 1800's and the 1900's.
