For the town of Salò tourism is certainly one of the main fields, which are on the basis of life both of its citizens and of the numerous Italian and foreign guests spending especially their summer time on Lake Garda. In particular German tourists traditionally choose the Garda as a suitable place, where they can relax, enjoy themselves and find different cultural interests. This is why the municipal administration has always arranged performances and important events, such as the Musical Summer of the Garda “Gasparo da Salò”. It is a festival of classical music started with Vittorio Pirlo in 1958, and since 1997 the most important classical groups have performed in the charming background of the Dome Square.

The area of the town of San Felice del Benaco is made up of morainal hills, which go from the Gulf of Salò to the Gulf of Manerba. It includes three small centres: San Felice, Portese and Cisano. The name San Felice seem to come from the Latin “sinux felix”, that is blessed small bay, or it may come from the names of the local saint protectors Felice, Adauto and Flavia. Portese, which is about one km far away from San Felice, is a small village, in the past inhabited mainly by fishermen. Its name derives from “portensis”, i.e. port/harbour, because it was called the port of Valtenesi. Till 1927 Portese was separeted from San Felice. The small village of Cisano is located on a promontory from which you can admire the suggestive landscape of the Gulf of Salò. The name probably dates back to the Latin word “Caesius” or “Caesa”, that is to say cut wood. This area was inhabited during the prehistory, as the remains on the isle Garda can prove.

There are different linguistic interpretations around the name Moniga: it may come from the Germanic word “Morn” (exposed to morning or to east), it may also go back to the presence of a temple dedicated to the Athenian godess “Diana Munichia”.

Puegnago del Garda is perfectly set in the middle of the morainal hills of Valtenesi. From its dominant position, like a natural open air terrace in the sun, it offers a charming view on Lake Garda and on Mount Baldo. If you arrive from the coastline, you will be attracted by soft hills covered with fertile vegetation; if you come from the inland through the roads among the hills, you will enjoy the view of woods, vineyards and small well cultivated fields.

Thanks to its favourite natural position, the different historical periods have left in Sirmione so many signs that the town can still today offer archeologists and historians a lot of new discoveries and studies. Hovewer, not only natural and historical-archeological attractions characterize Sirmione; in fact, since the Renaissance period the place was very popular for its warm and sulphurous thermal bath “La Bojola”, which springs from a depth of 250 metre on the eastern coast. These thermal waters are applied in the treatment and prevention of otorhinolaryngology, bronchopulmonary, rheumatology, orthopaedy, dermatology and gynaecology diseases. In the year 2003 the centre “Aquaria” was opened in the area of Catullo, which offers the thermal baths as a physical source of well-being according to the old Roman traditions.
