Begin your journey on the shores of Lake Garda at the Vittoriale degli Italiani, a unique complex built by the poet-soldier Gabriele d’Annunzio. Wander through grand gardens, the elegant villa, and the evocative open-air theatre, discovering sculptures and artworks donated by renowned artists.
Dive into the poet’s world as you explore exhibitions like the Museo d’Annunzio Segreto and the Museum l’Automobile è Femmina (The Car is Female), each revealing a different facet of Italian history and creativity.
Continue to the Valle delle Cartiere, where the Paper Museum brings to life the centuries-old tradition of papermaking. Housed in a restored paper mill, the museum guides you through the evolution of paper production from the 14th to the 20th century.
Enjoy interactive displays and multimedia stations that let you experience the sights and sounds of this once-booming industry. See original machinery, touch handmade paper, and follow the journey of Toscolano’s paper from local mills to the world.
End your day with time to reflect by the Toscolano stream, surrounded by the valley’s tranquil beauty. Both sites are located in picturesque settings, perfect for further exploration or a lakeside stroll.
