CULTURE

Between nature, sport and relaxation we certainly cannot forget the artistic and cultural heritage: the Scaligero Castle built by the Lombards (home to important collections of history, paintings and ancient Venetian galleys) and the Palazzo dei Capitani (built by the Scaligeri during the 12th and 14th centuries) with its garden on the ground floor and the frescoes on the first floor.

The recently opened Lake Museum is located on the small port of Cassone, a small fraction of Malcesine. Ideal to visit, perhaps on rainy days, interesting for families and even children. In the museum of Lake Cassone, you will find ancient tools used for fishing on display, but also objects of daily use, which our ancestors left us as a legacy and memory of a not so distant past. Another interesting stop is the Vittoriale degli Italiani, between Salò and Toscolano Maderno. Gardens, streets, squares, houses, libraries, streams, amphitheater: when you arrive at the Vittoriale for the first time, you don’t know exactly what to expect. And indeed every corner is a surprise; a little big world in itself, perfectly set in the lake territory.
