Italian Village of Gargnano, (Italy) - Travel Guide
Take a tour of Italian Village of Gargnano in Gargnano, Italy - part of the World's Greatest Attractions travel video series by GeoBeats.
Of Italy's lakeside villages, Gargnano, on the shore of Lake Garda, is among the most beautiful.
It is located at the base of one of the region's many steep, picturesque hills.
For much of the year, the hills and mountains surrounding the lake are covered in a thin blanket of snow.
The waterfront of Gargnano has a multitude of pleasant walkways, shady benches, and wonderful cafes.
The waters of Lake Garda are a deep, rich blue, perfect for a swim on a hot day or for boating.
The city owes much of its prosperity to a prominent Italian family, who gave contributions and lodging to Mussolini and his entourage during his reign.

italian travel team Lazio Latium - Italy Travel Guide (Rome)
Latium (Lazio in Italian) is a region of central Italy, bordered by Tuscany, Umbria, Abruzzo, Molise, Campania and the Tyrrhenian Sea. It comprises 5 provinces: Rome, Viterbo, Latina, Frosinone and Rieti. Regional capital is Rome. The name of the region also survives in the tribal designation of the ancient population of Latins, from whom the Romans originated.
Capalbio (Tuscany): the ancient medieval village (manortiz)
Capalbio and its beauties
Capalbio is a beautiful medieval town in southern Maremma. The Municipality is the most southwestern municipality in Tuscany along the border with Lazio. The characteristic village, natural surroundings and long sandy beaches attract thousands of visitors every year.
The name Capalbio is thought to come from the Latin caput album (bald head) which is the town's symbol, found in the sign on the Sienese Door depicting Siena's lion holding a bald head.
Its origins are extremely ancient as testified by the tombs dating back to the Bronze Age. Its history is traceable back to 806 A.D. when Capalbio became the property of the Tre Fontane Abbey in Rome, as per donation of Charlemagne.
Around 1200 teh village comes under the rule of the Aldobrandeschi clan and then under the rule of the Republic of Siena. During these years, the town accumulates wealth and many public works are completed, such as the fortress and the walls. In 1555, the invasion of Spanish troops throw Capalbio into a deep economic and demographic crisis, also due in large part to malaria.
When the village is annexed to the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, Capalbio loses its independence (which it takes back in 1960) and remains in the doldrums, worsened by bandits.
This negative past is now gone. Capalbio today is a charming medieval town, very lively all year round, but most of all, in the summer. From the ancient crenelated walls, rebuilt by the Sienese in order to defend the center, you can admire a breathtaking view of the Maremma area. The Fortress of Aldobrandeschi with its tall tower stands out over the red roofs of the stone homes. Next to it is the Collacchioni Palace dating back to the Renaissance period which displays the piano used by Giacomo Puccini when on holidays here.
In the main square you'll find the Church of San Nicola from the 12th-13th centuries decorated with Romanesque capitals and Renaissance frescoes. Outside the walls is the Oratory of the Providence with beautiful 16th century frescoes attributed to the school of Pinturicchio.
From May through October Capalbio and its surroundings are animated by festivals, feasts and events. The most important event is the Capalbio Cinema Internation Short Film Festival showcasing shorts from all around the world.
Capalbio is also renowned for the beautiful Garden of Tarot Cards, located just a few kilometers from the ancient center. The garden is famous for the large sculptures created by the French artist Niki de Sante Phalle depicting the 22 Major Arcanes of the tarot cards.
The surroundings are just as charming. Close to the sea is the Lake of Burano, a WWF protected area. This salty lagoon is separated from the Tyrrhenian Sea by a thin strips of sand dunes. Within, the massive sighting Tower of Buranaccio, built around 1600 by Spanish troops, stands tall over the area. Today, it is a private building and is accessible only from the sea.
The coast of Capalbio stretches over 12 kilometers and is characterized by long sandy beaches and crystal clear water, bordered by thick Macchia Mediterranea as the typical yellow colored Mediterranean scrub is called. There are few entrance points to the beaches but they are easy to reach by car from the Aurelia road (SS1) and you'll find both free beach areas as well as areas with sun chairs, umbrellas and more (for a price).
