Gardone Riviera — Il Vittoriale Grounds

Lombardy

Il Vittoriale degli Italiani is the extravagant hillside estate D'Annunzio built for himself above Lake Garda, its terraced gardens, an entombed World War I warship prow, and an open-air theatre spread across wooded grounds with views out over the lake. It's an unusual, densely planted counterpart to the open Alto Garda Lombardo shoreline nearby.
