The Lombardy / Lake Garda Area
The panorama of the Park is multicoloured and charming. Its value derives from the particular geographic position, the geological structure, and the presence of the lake influencing the climate, the flora, and the fauna of the whole area. The unique features of this territory have transformed it into an ideal destination for different kinds of experiences surrounded by nature. The beauty of these places is praised by the particular synergy between the lake and the mountain enviroment, two fundamental elements of this extraordinary land. It is a temperate climate, with warm-dry aspects differentiating the Lake of Garda from the other wetter and colder prealpine lakes.
Toscolano Maderno area
Situated on the delta of the Toscolano stream, the two small towns of Toscolano and Maderno have an ancient roman origin. They were joined together in a single municipality in 1928. During the Middle Ages Maderno had a remarkable political and administrative importance. In the XVII and XVIII centuries the dukes of Mantua fixed their sommer residence in the Gonzaga palace and in the Villa del Serraglio.
Until XVI century Toscolano was the seat of important paper mills and factories placed along the valley, where the torrent with the same name flows. Both in Maderno and in Toscolano the squares offer many important artistic proofs. The parish Churc dedicated to Saint Peter and to saint Paul is worth visiting. The inside is dominated by the canvas of the venetian Andrea Celesti ( 1637-after 1712 ), who left here a big mark of his lively imagination, painting three big canvas: Simon Mago's fall, the delivery of the key and Saint Paul's and Saint Peter's martyrdom.
In front of the lake stands the fifteen-century Madonna del Benaco's shrine. In Saint Markus' square, in Maderno, stands the Saint John's basilica, which is a beautiful example of romanesque-lombard Architecture. The basilica was built on an old wreck, that preserved relics of Saint Herculaneum , who was the bishops of Brescia. The inside has three aisle and under the presbytery there is the recently restored crypt.
The parish Church, with neoclassical forms, houses among many others, a workshop canvas, which portrays Saint Herculaneum with the Angel. On the opposite side of the square there is the monument to Giuseppe Zanardelli "The beautiful Italy", realised in 1909 by Leonardo Bistolfi. Close to it rises the Saint Mark's column, built in XVI century as symbol of the venetian rule, which lasted until 1797.
