Lake Garda
Lake Garda or Benaco is the largest Italian lake, with a surface area of approximately 370 km² (third in depth after Como and Maggiore). Hinge between three regions, Lombardy (province of Brescia), Veneto (province of Verona), Trentino-Alto Adige (province of Trento), it is located parallel to the Adige, from which it is divided by the Monte Baldo massif. To the north it appears narrow like a funnel while to the south it widens, surrounded by moraine hills which make the landscape gentler. The lake is an important tourist destination and is visited by millions of people every year. In Roman times the lake was known as Benacus and was venerated by some as the god Benacus, the very personification of the lake, sometimes associated with the cult of the god Neptune. Today it is better known as Lake Garda, a toponym attested since the Middle Ages and of Germanic origin, deriving from that of the town of the same name on the Veronese side of the lake, which, together with another famous location on the lake, Gardone Riviera, and other less known, such as Gàrdola, Gardoncino, Gardoni, Guàrdola and Le Garde, testifies to the Germanic presence that goes from the 6th to the 8th century, in particular the Lombard one. The toponym Garda, with which the lake was already called in some documents from the 8th century, is the evolution of the Germanic word warda, meaning "place of guard" or "place of observation". The classic toponym of the lake, namely Benācus lacus (Benaco), is almost certainly of Celtic origin, therefore preceding Roman rule, and should derive from bennacus, comparable with the Irish bennach, and would mean "horned", or with many promontories. The translation "horned" is also interpreted in reference to the Sirmione peninsula. The Latin voice of Benaco is attested as Benācus.
