When Vitilde, the daughter of the Longobard King Vitolfo, visited the prison, she fell in love with Antonio and married him in secret. When Vitolfo discovered what had happened he was furious: he ordered that Vitalde be relegated to the Island and that Antonio be put in the dungeons on the Rock of Manerba which is opposite the Island. Many years passed but finally one stormy night Antonio, helped by chance, managed to escape and was shipwrecked in the storm, on a rock where he found his beloved. So as not to be discovered by King Vitolfo, the young man decided to live for a long time in the Islands grottoes and the story of the two lovers continued. Fishermen who were saved many times by Antonio during stormy nights began, to love and respect him like a saint and they called him the Hermit of the Island-Alberta Cavazza [/fusion_text][fusion_separator style_type="none" hide_on_mobile="small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility" class="" id="" sep_color="" top_margin="10px" bottom_margin="10px" border_size="" icon="" icon_circle="" icon_circle_color="" width="" alignment="center" /][fusion_code]PGRpdiBzdHlsZT0idGV4dC1hbGlnbjogY2VudGVyOyI+PGEgaHJlZj0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy5hbnJkb2V6cnMubmV0L2NsaWNrLTc3NDY3MTktMTM2NDczNjUiIHRhcmdldD0iX3RvcCI+CjxpbWcgc3JjPSJodHRwOi8vd3d3LmZ0amNmeC5jb20vaW1hZ2UtNzc0NjcxOS0xMzY0NzM2NSIgd2lkdGg9IjcyOCIgaGVpZ2h0PSI5MCIgYWx0PSIiIGJvcmRlcj0iMCIvPjwvYT48L2Rpdj4=[/fusion_code][fusion_separator style_type="none" hide_on_mobile="small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility" class="" id="" sep_color="" top_margin="20px" bottom_margin="20px" border_size="" icon="" icon_circle="" icon_circle_color="" width="" alignment="center" /][fusion_title hide_on_mobile="small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility" class="" id="" content_align="center" size="1" font_size="" line_height="" letter_spacing="" margin_top="" margin_bottom="" margin_top_mobile="" margin_bottom_mobile="" text_color="" style_type="default" sep_color=""] Why Visit Isola Del Garda [/fusion_title][fusion_text columns="" column_min_width="" column_spacing="" rule_style="default" rule_size="" rule_color="" hide_on_mobile="small-visibility,medium-visibility,large-visibility" class="" id=""] This is just one legend of many about the Island which has a history going back to 234 AD, when it was said to have been separated from the mainland by a catastrophic 'terramorte'. The history since then includes kings, queens and emperors, St Francis of Assis, Dante Alighieri and Benito Mussolini. The island was inherited by Camillio Cavazza in the early part of last century and it is his decendents who now are gaurdians of the Island and who wish to share the wonder of Islands. It is not just the amazing history which makes the Island a 'must see' on a holiday to Lake Garda, but also beauty of the Island. There are the immaculate gardens which combines English and Italian landscaping, and are full of lush vegetation, rich in exotic plants, rare species of trees and flowers. Palm trees from the Canary Islands grow next to the Neo-Gothic Venetian style villa which was designed by the architect Luigi Rovelli, while the lower terrace is thick with fruit trees such as persimmons, lemons, pomegranates, orange, grapefruit, jujubes, capers and prickly pears, also of course olive trees.
