LAKE GARDA - LAZISE
STILL WANDERING AROUND LAKE GARDA TODAY I BRING YOU TO DISCOVER LAZISE, THE OLDEST FREE TOWN IN ITALY, WITH THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LAKESIDE PROMENADE, THE BEST PRESERVED CASTLE ON LAKE GARDA, AND THE GREATEST NUMBER OF TOURIST INCOME.
HISTORICALLY LAZISE HAS ALWAYS BEEN AN IMPORTANT TOWN: DURING THE ROMAN ERA IT WAS A CRUCIAL STOP-OVER FOR THE GOODS COMING FROM NORTH. LAZISE WAS THE FIRST FREE MUNICIPALITY IN ITALY, IT WAS THE POINT OF CONTENTION BETWEEN THE FRENCH AND AUSTRIAN ARMY, AND EVENTUALLY IT BECAME PART OF THE KINGDOM OF ITALY. IN CONCLUSION: WHEN IN LAZISE YOU FELL DRENCHED WITHIN A SPECIAL ATMOSPHERE THAT NOWADAYS YOU CAN STILL LIVE IN THIS LIVELY TOWN!
SEVERAL POPULAR AND HISTORICAL FIGURES VISITED LAZISE: CATULLO, GOETHE, GUSTAV KLIMT, BUT THE MASS TOURISM IN LAZISE BEGAN AFTER THE SECOND WORLD WAR, WHEN TOURISTS, ESPECIALLY FROM GERMANY, BEGAN TO CHOOSE A CLOSER AND CHEAPER DESTINATION FOR THEIR HOLIDAYS ON LAKE GARDA. TODAY LAZISE COUNTS WITH MORE THAN TWO AND A HALF MILLION TOURISTS PER YEAR. IN JUST FEW MILES THERE ARE MORE THAN 40 HOTELS AND 10 CAMPSITES, PLUS LANDLORDS, BED AND BREAKFASTS AND OTHER ACCOMMODATIONS.
THE LAKISIDE OF LAZISE IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL YOU CAN FIND ON LAKE GARDA! PIAZZA VITTORIO EMANUELE AND THE SMALL PORT ARE OTHER EVOCATIVE SPOTS, ENLIVEN BY THE FISHERMEN’S BOATS AND THE TOURISTS!
EVERY WEDNESDAY HUNDREADS OF PEOPLE WANDER THROUGH THE COLORS AND PERFUMES OF THE OPEN-AIR MARKET SCATTERED ALONG THE LAKEFRONT AND THE OLD TOWN OF LAZISE.
THE CASTLE OF LAZISE IS ONE OF THE BEST PRESERVED OF LAKE GARDA. ITS WALLS STILL ENCLOSE THE OLD TOWN, NOWADAYS FULL OF SHOPS, RESTAURANTS AND BARS.
THE VENETIAN DOGANA WAS THE ANCIENT CUSTOMS, BUILT DURING THE FOURTEENTH CENTURY. AT THE BEGINNING IT WAS CRUCIAL FOR THE GOODS COMING AND LEAVING FROM THE PORT OF LAZISE, THEN IT TURNED INTO AN ARSENAL, THEN A WAREHOUSE, AND FINALLY IT WAS THE CASA DEL FASCIO, THAT IS THE SEAT OF THE LOCAL BRANCH OF THE NATIONAL FASCIST PARTY. TODAY IT HOSTS MEETINGS, CONFERENCES, AND WEDDINGS. THIS IS ALSO THE PLACE WHERE THE VENETIAN FLEET WAS MOORED DURING THE SERENISSIMA REPUBLIC. AT THE BEGINNING OF THE SIXTEENTH CENTURY THE FRENCH ARMY DEFEATED THE VENETIAN FLEET; THE CAPTAIN ZACCARIA LOREDAN WANTED TO BRING THE SHIPS HERE TO KEEP THEM SAFE, BUT HE WAS GIVEN THE ORDER TO SINK THEM, TO PREVENT THEM FROM BECOMING FRENCH PROPERTY. THE CAPTAIN OBEYED, AND TODAY, MORE THAN 500 YEARS LATER, THE WRECKS OF THOSE SHIPS ARE STILL HERE, ON THE LAKE BOTTOM, SO IF YOU LOVE SCUBA DIVING THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU!
BUT NOT ONLY SCUBA DIVING, LAZISE IS THE PERFECT PLACE FOR ANY KIND OF WATER SPORTS!
BEACHES OF LAZISE
LIDO LA MARRA: THIS IS THE PUBLIC BEACH OF LAZISE; IT’S REALLY CLOSE TO THE CENTER, JUST FEW MINUTES WALKING FROM THE OLD TOWN.
PACENGO BEACH: IT’S 3 MILES SOUTH LAZISE, FEW STEPS FROM THE SMALL PORT OF PACENGO. IT’S A SMALL AND QUIET BEACH, BECAUSE IT’S FURTHER FROM THE CITY.
PRIVATE BEACHES
IF YOU GO SOUTHWARDS YOU FIND TWO VERY BEAUTIFUL SANDY BEACHES: THE OAK BEACH AND THE GOLDEN BEACH, IN ITALIAN “LA QUERCIA” AND “LA SPIAGGIA D’ORO”. THESE ARE PRIVATE BEACHES, THEY BELONG TO THEIR RESPECTIVE CAMPSITES. THEY ARE VERY BEAUTIFUL AND EQUIPPED WITH ANY KIND OF FACILITIES, THAT IS SUNBEDS, BEACH UMBRELLAS, BARS, RESTAURANTS AND EACH CAMPSITE HAS ALSO A WATER PARK.

LAKE GARDA - TORBOLE
TORBOLE, ON LAKE GARDA IN TRENTINO ALTO ADIGE, IS WHERE THE LAND OF SPORTS BEGINS. WATER SPORTS LIKE SAILING OR WINDSURFING, YEAR-ROUND SPORTS THANKS TO THE CONSTANT WINDS THAT BLOW ON THIS PART OF THE LAKE.
BUT NOT ONLY! ALSO CLIMBING AND TREKKING. THIS AREA HAS LOTS OF PATHS OF DIFFERENT LEVELS OF DIFFICULTY.
A GOOD WALK IS THE ONE CALLED “BUSATTE-TEMPESTA”. THIS PATH STARTS ABOVE TORBOLE AND LEADS TO TEMPESTA, A DISTRICT OF TORBOLE. THE PATH PROCEEDS ALONG THE SHORE AND THE VIEW YOU HAVE FROM HERE IS SIMPLY FANTASTIC! BUT THIS AREA IS GREAT ALSO FOR BICYCLE LOVERS! YOU CAN LEAVE FROM RIVA DEL GARDA AND RIDE ALONG THE NORTHERN SHORE OF LAKE GARDA UP TO TORBOLE AND THE BICYCLE PATH OF VALLAGARINA, LEADING TO ROVERETO AND TRENTO, OR YOU CAN ALSO GO SOUTH, TO VERONA.
TORBOLE RISES ON A LITTLE HARBOUR IN THE NORTH EASTERN PART OF LAKE GARDA. THE ANCIENT HOUSES, THE SQUARES AND THE COBBLED STREETS EMBRACE THE OLD PORT AND FORM AN AMPHITHEATER ON THIS PART OF THE CITY, THAT INSPIRED MANY ARTISTS IN THE PAST YEARS AND NOWADAYS INSTILL PEACE TO THE TOURISTS.
PICTURESQUE SPOTS LIKE THE OLD CUSTOMS OR THE HOUSE OF THE DUTY INSPIRED THE GREAT GERMAN WRITER GOETHE, WHO IS CELEBRATED WITH A PLAQUE AND A SMALL STATUE.
BUT NOT JUST GOETHE, TORBOLE WAS THE CHOICE OF MANY GERMAN ARTISTS, ESPECIALLY PAINTERS, WHO FOUND GREAT INSPIRATION IN THE BEAUTY OF THIS PLACE!
THE BEUST HOUSE IS A HISTORICAL BUILDING IN TORBOLE FROM THE FIFTEENTH CENTURY. A FRESCO BY HANS LIETZMANN, A PAINTER FROM BERLIN, REPRESENTS SAINT ANTHONY THAT SPEAKS TO THE FISHES. HANS LIETZMANN WAS A VERY IMPORTANT PAINTER FOR TORBOLE, BECAUSE HE CONTRIBUTED A LOT TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF TORBOLE FROM A FISHERMEN VILLAGE TO AN INTERNATIONAL TOURIST DESTINATION.
HE MOVED HERE AT THE END OF THE NINETEENTH CENTURY AND OPENED A SCHOOL OF PAINTING THAT ATTRACTED MANY GERMAN PAINTERS, AND THAT HELPED TO SPREAD THE FAME AND THE IMAGE OF TORBOLE IN CENTRAL EUROPE.
THANKS TO THE VENTILATED POSITION AND THE BAN FOR MOTOR BOATS TORBOLE HAS BECOME A WORLDWIDE KNOWN SAILING AND SURF TOWN. IT IS NOW AN AUTHENTIC PARADISE FOR THOSE WHO LOVE THIS KIND OF SPORTS! BUT DON’T WORRY! IF THESE SPORTS ARE NOT FOR YOU, IN TORBOLE YOU HAVE FULLY EQUIPPED BEACHES TO ENJOY THE LAKE AND THE SUN!
A BEAUTIFUL HIKE IS THE ONE THAT STARTS FROM TORBOLE AND LEADS TO THE GIANT’S POT IN NAGO. THE GIANT’S POT ARE GLACIAL PITS THAT WERE FORMED ACROSS MILLION YEARS DUE TO THE EROSION OF THE ICE. THEY CAN BE 15-16 FEET WIDE AND MEASURE ABOUT 40 FEET IN DEPTH. THE ICE ALSO SMOOTHED THE ROCKS OF THE MOUNTAINS AND CREATED VERTICAL SIDES THAT TODAY ARE A BLESSING FOR CLIMBERS!
ALSO ON MOUNT BRIONE YOU WILL FIND BEAUTIFUL PATHS, WELL KEPT AND WELL MARKED, WHERE YOU CAN DISCOVER BEAUTIFUL PLACES, FOR INSTANCE THE GARDA FORTRESS, BUILT AT THE BEGINNING OF THE 20TH CENTURY TO PROTECT THE NORTHERN SHORE OF LAKE GARDA
LAKE GARDA - BARDOLINO
BARDOLINO RISES ON THE EASTERN SHORE OF LAKE GARDA, ABOUT 18 MILES FROM VERONA. THE OLD TOWN OF BARDOLINO SHOWS ITSELF AS AN ANCIENT FISHERMEN'S VILLAGE, A NETWORK OF NARROW STREETS AND SMALL SQUARES THAT RISE UP FROM THE LAKE, WITH THE HOUSES SCATTERED ONE BEHIND THE OTHER STARTING FROM THE FIRST THAT RISE ON THE COASTLINE AND WHICH MAKE THE TOWN EVEN MORE CHARACTERISTIC . THE HIDDEN CORNERS, THE COBBLED STREETS, THE FLOWERED BALCONIES, THE ANCIENT COLORED DWELLINGS TODAY HAVE BECOME SOUVENIR SHOPS, ICE-CREAM PARLORS AND CLUBS THAT REVEAL THE NEW TOURIST IDENTITY OF BARDOLINO.
CASTLE OF BARDOLINO
OF THE ANCIENT CASTLE AND THE DEFENSIVE WALLS TODAY REMAIN ONLY THE TWO GATES TO THE CITY: SAN GIOVANNI GATE TO NORTH AND VERONA GATE TO SOUTH EAST, AND THE TRUNCATED RECTANGULAR TOWER ON THE LAKESIDE
THE LAKEFRONT OF BARDOLINO
THERE IS A NICE PATH THAT STARTS FROM BARDOLINO AND GOES SOUTH, TOWARDS LAZISE. IF YOU LIKE WALKING AND JOGGING, THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU! HOWEVER, IF YOU HAVE STROLLERS, CHILDREN, OR BAGS TO CARRY, YOU MIGHT FIND THE PATH UNCOMFORTABLE, BECAUSE FOR LONG STRETCHES IT IS A DIRT ROAD, THERE ARE NO SPOTS WHERE YOU CAN STOP, NO BENCHES, NO CHANCHE TO GET A FRESH DRINK... SO IN THAT CASE YOU WILL PROBABLY PREFER THE PROMENADE THAT GOES NORTH, TOWARDS GARDA: IT'S A 4 MILES LONG PEDESTRIAN AND CYCLE PATH, VERY WELL-MAINTAINED , WITH BENCHES IN THE SHADOW TO REST AND SEVERAL REFRESHMENT POINTS, CAFES, KIOSKS WHERE YOU CAN SIT AND HAVE A FRESH DRINK OR EAT SOMETHING.

THE CASTLE OF MALCESINE
THE MEDIEVAL CASTLE OF MALCESINE WAS DECLARED A NATIONAL MONUMENT IN 1902.

ANOTHER ISLAND, THE DREAM ISLAND IS BEAUTIFUL AND EVOCATIVE, YOU CAN REACH IT BY FOOT WHEN THE LEVEL OF LAKE GARDA IS LOW AND TURNS IT INTO A PENINSULA.
CASSONE DI MALCESINE
THE BEAUTIFUL LAKEFRONT OF MALCESINE LEADS THE HAMLET OF CASSONE DI MALCESINE, A UNIQUE SPOT ON LAKE GARDA WHERE YOU WOULD NEVER EXPECT TO FIND THE SHORTEST RIVER IN THE WORLD, THE ARIL RIVER, THAT GUSHES FROM THE MOUNTAIN BEHIND CASSONE AND AFTER ONLY 200 YARDS FLOWS INTO A SMALL WATERFALL AND INTO LAKE GARDA, RIGHT BEHIND THE MUSEUM OF THE LAKE. THE MUSEUM OF THE LAKE IS LOCATED BETWEEN THE SMALL HARBOUR OF CASSONE DI MALCESINE AND THE MOUTH OF THE ARIL RIVER. INSIDE ARE DISPLAYED THE TOOLS USED FOR FISHING AND THE EVERYDAY LIFE OBJECTS OF THE PAST OF MALCESINE.
MOUNT BALDO
MOUNT BALDO IS THE MOUNTAIN THAT DOMINATES LAKE GARDA! THE PEAK IS 7000 FEET ABOVE SEA LEVEL, AND THE SLOPE FALLS DOWN INTO THE LAKE. THE DIFFERENCE IN ALTITUDE IS CONSIDERABLE! AND THEREFORE THERE ARE DIFFERENT CLIMATES AND DIFFERENT VEGETATION; THE UPPER PART OF MOUNT BALDO IS PERFECT FOR WINTER SPORTS: SKI, SNOWBOARD AND SO ON. BUT YOU CAN ENJOY THE MOUNTAIN ALSO IN SUMMER. IN THIS VIDEO I SHOW YOU A COUPLE OF REALLY INTERESTING THINGS: THE SANCTUARY OF MADONNA DELLA CORONA AND A FLIGHT WITH A PARAGLIDING!

Lago Di Garda 2018
Pictures from our holiday to Lake Garda June 2018 . Beautiful weather for a beautiful area of Italy .
Starts with Riva Del Garda which was a bus run to top of lake . Nice run in bus which is more akin to the Glasgow Express than a bus ( coach ) Nice place .Just down from that is Torbole which we didn`t visit but is where they have their water sports like sailing and water gliding .Sirmeone was next visit by the boat and I`ve shown this before .It has it`s castle and Roman Villa ruins . A walk to Bardolino came Sat with it`s annual triathalon. That was in it`s 35th year . After the heat of the day a boat journey back was called for Torri Del Benaco was Sunday visit .It`s just up from Garda and is a lovely little place .The castle has fine views which on a clear day you can see Sirmeone and Riva .Lazise was next stop by boat .It really is a lovely spot on the lake . Best ice cream shop too and best wee bar which served Birra Morretti and was very welcome in 35 deg heat ! Our last full day saw the long boat trip to Liomone .It`s a nice place built into the rock . We took boat deliberately as it was 2 hrs there and three and a half back visiting the various stops on the lake .Reason for that was to get a cooling breeze as it was so hot . Final frame is of the Body Painting in Garda where we stayed .It`s a big thing and was over the weekend with show at night .Great holiday was had with sun every day and not a drop of rain .It`s a great place to visit and Garda we`ve found is best to stay as it`s very central for touring the lake and easy from Verona Airport .

PIEDILUCO ED IL SUO LAGO - Umbria - HD
© CLAUDIO MORTINI -
Piediluco è una frazione del comune di Terni (TR).
Collocato a 375 m s.l.m., il paese è abitato da 523 residenti. Esso sorge in riva all'omonimo lago che alimenta, assieme alle acque del fiume Velino, la cascata delle Marmore.
Il nome significa ai piedi del bosco sacro. Con un assetto rimasto quello del medio evo, con le sue basse casette colorate, è in realtà dislocato nello stretto lembo di terra che corre tra il lago ed il monte.
Il Lago di Piediluco che prende il nome dal paese, è tanto irregolare da sembrare un lago alpino. Molto suggestivo, è circondato da rilievi boscosi, tra i quali è caratteristica per la sua forma di largo cono la montagna dell'Eco. Questa montagna deve il suo nome al fatto che è in grado di rimandare ogni parola in maniera perfetta.
La sua posizione strategica ne fece spesso oggetto di contese tra i signori dei centri limitrofi.Il lago, sede di manifestazioni di canottaggio di carattere mondiale, è un frequentato centro turistico, ed offre la possibilità di praticare vari sport lacustri. Ogni anno, sul lago si svolge la festa delle acque, di antichissima origine, durante la quale è possibile vedere una sfilata notturna di barche addobbate e illuminate, giochi pirotecnici. Da vari anni, ormai, si svolgono dei Master musicali di pianoforte e violino, a cui fanno seguito i concerti tenuti dai partecipanti e dai Maestri nella Chiesa di San Francesco
Piediluco is part of the municipality of Terni (TR).
Located at 375 m above sea level, the town is inhabited by 523 residents. It is situated on the banks of the homonymous lake that feeds, together with the waters of the river Velino, the cascade of Marmore.
The name means at the foot of the sacred grove. With its appearance remained unchanged since the Middle Ages, with its colorful houses low, is actually housed in the narrow strip of land that runs between the lake and the mountain.
Piediluco lake which takes its name from the village is so irregular as to seem an alpine lake. Very impressive, is surrounded by wooded hills, among which is characterized by its large cone-shaped Echo Mountain. This mountain owes its name to the fact that it is able to postpone every word perfectly.
Its strategic location made it often the subject of disputes between the lords of the centers limitrofi.Il lake, home to the rowing events of global nature, is a popular tourist center, and offers the possibility of practicing various water sports. Every year, the lake is the festival of the waters of ancient origin, during which you can see a night parade of boats decorated and lit fireworks. For several years now, are held Master of music in piano and violin, which is followed by the concerts held by participants and teachers in the Church of San Francesco
