Top 10 Places Around the Italian Lakes
Top 10 Places Around the Italian Lakes according to DK
10. Sirmione and Southern Lake Garda
Sirmione is a comune in the province of Brescia. It is bounded by the comunes of Desenzano del Garda (Lombardy) and Peschiera del Garda in the province of Verona and the region of Veneto. It has a historical centre which is located on the Sirmio peninsula that divides the lower part of Lake Garda.
9. Lake Idro and the Valvestino
Lake Idro is an Italian prealpine lake of glacial origin situated largely within the Province of Brescia and in part in Trentino. The lake is surrounded by wooded mountains. The shoreline of some 24 km is shared between four communes: Idro (the frazioni Crone and Belprato), from which the lake takes its name, Anfo, Bagolino (fraz. Ponte Caffaro) and Bondone (fraz. Baitoni).
8. Bergamo
Bergamo is a pretty town of some 120,000 people nestling in the foothills of the Alps. Widely acclaimed as a city of rare beauty, Bergamo is famous for its wealth of artistic treasures and enchanting medieval atmosphere. It is a real life tale of two cities: Città Bassa, the busy and modern lower city, and Città Alta, the upper city with its rich heritage of art and history.
7. Centro Lago and its Villages
At the centre of Lake Como -- the Centro Lago -- where the three branches of the lake meet, stands Bellagio, with its pretty village centre of stepped streets
6. Verona
Verona is a cityin north-eastern Italy's Veneto region most famous as the setting for Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Though close to the more popular tourist destination of Venice, many people consider Verona a more relaxed and pleasant place to visit. There are many tourists, but the number of tourists per square meter is lower.
5. Milan
Milan is financially the most important city in Italy. In essence, for a tourist, what makes Milan interesting compared to other places is that the city is truly more about the lifestyle of enjoying worldly pleasures: a paradise for shopping, football, opera, and nightlife. Milan remains the marketplace for Italian fashion -- fashion aficionados, supermodels and international paparazzi descend upon the city twice a year for its spring and autumn fairs.
4. Como
Como has always been an area of intense activity, as it has acted over the centuries as a crossing point between Central Europe and the Mediterranean. Built by the Romans at the end of the Piedmont road, it was an important communication point between Rome and its northern territories. In more recent times Como became famed for its silk.
3. Orta San Giulio
Orta San Giulio is a town and comune in the Province of Novara in the Italian region of Piedmont, located about 100 km northeast of Turin and about 40 km northwest of Novara. The town itself is built on a promontory which juts out from the eastern bank of Lake Orta close to Isola San Giulio, an island which also falls within the municipal boundaries.
2. Northern Lake Maggiore
With a length of 68 km and a coastline of over 150 km the glacial Lake Maggiore stretches from the Swiss canton Ticino in the north into the two major Italian regions Piedmont and Lombardy. Since the climate is mild year-round, the area is filled with Mediterranean vegetation and exotic plants. Surrounded by beautiful lake shore towns and villages with lush botanical gardens, amazing islands and a backdrop of Swiss mountain peaks the Lake Maggiore has become a top tourist destination, mainly for central and northern Europe tourists.
1. Isola Bella
Isola Bella (lit. 'beautiful island') is one of the Borromean Islands of Lago Maggiore in north Italy. The island is situated in the Borromean Gulf 400 metres from the lakeside town of Stresa. Isola Bella is 320 metres long by 400 metres wide and is divided between the Palace, its Italianate garden, and a small fishing village.

Rocca d'Anfo - Lago di Idro - Italy
The foundations of the Rocca d’Anfo were laid by the Republic of Venice, which governed the territory of Valsabbia from 1426 to 1797. For these works the Republic appointed Count G. Francesco Martinengo. The first step of the construction was a barrage which started from the shore of the lake and arrived to the overhanging rocks. It was composed by steps of granite between double enclosing walls. On the road leading towards Tyrol there were the quarters of the troops and the most important bastions in order to stop armed men. Another function of the buildings on the road was to collect taxes and tolls imposed on people, animals and goods passing through the passage. The double enclosing walls are still visible in the superior part of the stronghold.
As a consequence of the mutated war methods and technologies, in the Napoleonic times, a structural restoration of the territorial defensive system was necessary. Therefore, the Napoleonic engineers abandoned the Venetian structures and launched a magnificent plan of enlargement which had the hub in the northern rocky side of the mountain.
At the beginning the plan was committed to Francois Nicolas Benoit Haxo and successively to Liedot. They prepared the works by drafting a detailed cartography of the area, adapting the structures to the territorial conformation. The plan included the creation of two straight lines which led from the shore of the lake to the slopes of Mt Censo, then to the other side. The infantry and the artillery were installed between these two barriers. In order to reduce the escarpments the ground was terraced, building walls up to 10m high and connecting them to one another with stairs. The southern terrace close to the lake still has a parapet, behind which, it was possible to set all pieces of ordnance necessary to avert the hostile boats. On each terrace it was also necessary to install the cannons on the casemates in order to permit them to shoot.
The plans drawn by these engineers represent a fundamental step in the history of the cartographic methods. The edifices that were erected in as little as ten years (1802-1812) testify the effort to transform the Rocca d’Anfo into one of the most grandiose and mighty strongholds in Europe. The collapse of the Napoleonic Empire prevented the completion of the works in the medium-inferior part. The integrations of the structures were built firstly by the Austrians, and then by the Kingdom of Italy between 1860-1910
