Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Pass By: Malcesine, Malcesine, Province of Verona, Veneto
The history of Malcesine revolves around the Scaligero Castle (well preserved and home to the museums of Natural Sciences, Local History, the Venetian Galleys as well as the room dedicated to JW Goethe’s stay in Malcesine) and the Palazzo dei Capitani del Lago of the Serenissima Republic of Venice . Two historic buildings, but still alive and vital, two cultural containers in which theatrical performances, music concerts, art exhibitions are organized, and where over 300 weddings are celebrated a year, mainly of English couples conquered by the magic of the place, of light, of colors.
Pass By: Palazzo dei Capitani di Malcesine, Via Capitanato 2/4, 37018, Malcesine Italy
It is a 13th century palace, built on Roman and then Romanesque remains, used by the Scaligeri as one of their residences on the lake.
It then became the property of the Veronese Francesco Mercanti and then inherited by the latter’s sons, who in turn, on 18 December 1473, gave it to Alessandro Miniscalchi.
In the meantime, the building had already taken on its current appearance, in Venetian Gothic style, as shown in sales deeds of 1477.In 1618, at the invitation of the Serenissima, the palace was purchased by the city of Verona for the sum of 4000 ducats with the aim of being used as the residence of the Captain of the Lake.
The building, the time of day when it was time for various restoration works, remained under the management of the municipality of Verona until March 20, 1854 [, when it was rented to the municipality of Malcesine.The same municipality of Malcesine then became the owner in 1897.
In 1902, the Palazzo dei Capitani was declared a national monument
Pass By: Tremosine sul Garda, Tremosine sul Garda, Province of Brescia, Lombardy
We will see the town of Tremosine from the boat: first of all, to be part of the exclusive Club “The Most Beautiful Villages of Italy” it is necessary to have specific characteristics, for example to have a maximum of 2000 inhabitants in the historic village that represents the Municipality.
In fact, the title extends not only to the town but to the entire municipal area, which, however, must not have more than 15,000 inhabitants.
For this reason, the village of Pieve is represented in the club of the Most Beautiful Villages in Italy together with all 18 small hamlets that make up the Municipality of Tremosine sul Garda.
The villages that are part of the most beautiful villages must have uniqueness from the point of view of urban planning and architecture as well as from a naturalistic and food and wine point of view.
Stop At: Gargnano, Gargnano, Province of Brescia, Lombardy
We will stop in Gargnano for about 2 hours, where you can visit the historical center, admiring the suggestive old lemon groves and the church of San Giacomo, which dates back to the 12th century. You could also have lunch in a typical restaurant or make shopping.
