I was near Lake Garda for work, and after the appointment I decided to photograph a couple of places nearby. One is new to me, and one is a return visit after seeing it with my wife some months ago. I also visited a couple of towns along the lake.
First off we have the "Santuario della Madonna del Carmine", at San Felice Benaco a fifteenth century late Lombard Gothic structure. It has some wonderful frescoes inside.
Next we have Romanesque "Chiesa monumentale di Sant'Andrea Apostolo" in Manerbio, which I have photographed before. This time I used a tripod and had a bit more time to photograph the lovely column capitals with the typical Medieval Bestiary, geared more towards water creatures like a swan and fish.
I wanted to visit the Limonaia at Pra dela Fam, but as often happens when you play "Monument Bingo" in Italy, it was closed.
Castello di Padenghe, above the small town of the same name, is a curious place. Inside its imposing walls, houses and gardens have been built making it a rather partiucular "gated housing complex".
