Endless charm
A place whose power base has changed hands over the centuries under the bishops of Trento, the Scala dynasty of Verona, the Habsburgs and the Kingdom of Bavaria before becoming a part of the Kingdom of Italy, Riva del Garda is gently nestled on the north coast of Italy’s largest lake. This beautiful town is a crossroads of culture, history and, above all, of scenic beauty. It has also hosted illustrious personalities such as Franz Kafka, the Mann brothers and Rilke.
“Every now and then, on windy days, he would go down to the lake and spend hours contemplating it, as he seemed to see, sketched on its surface, the inexplicable spectacle that had been his life in all its lightness.”
- Alessandro Baricco, Silk
