“Lake Garda (Italian Lago di Garda or Benaco) is the largest lake in Italy. It is located in Northern Italy, about half-way between Venice and Milan. It is in an alpine region and was formed by glaciers at the end of the last ice age. The lake Garda and its shoreline are divided between the provinces of Verona (to the south-east), Brescia (south-west), and Trentino region (north). The lake is a major tourist destination, with a number of hotels and resorts along its shore.
The northern part of the lake Garda is narrower, surrounded by mountains, the major of which belong to the Gruppo del Baldo. The shape is that typical of a moraine valley, probably having been formed under the action of a Paleolithic glacier”
