Desenzano del Garda
Desenzano is one of the bigger towns on the wider southern shore of Lake Garda, with over 20,000 inhabitants. It is situated in the southwestern corner of the lake not far from Sirmione and at the start of the road which heads up the western side of the lake.
As such it is one of the more popular resorts for visitors from the big cities like Milan and Turin in the northwestern part of Italy.
Desenzano was once an important Roman trading point and was
then used by the Venetians as one of their power bases to control the lower
end of the lake. More information about the historical locations and sights:
