We visit the extraordinary LAKE GARDA HOME of the poet Gabriele D'Annunzio

We visit the Il Vittoriale, the extaordinary and beautiful lakeside home of Gabriele D'Annunzio, who in his lifetime was Italy's most famous poet.... and a renowned seducer of women. He was a poster of his day attracting crowds of thousands. A controversial figure even in his own lifetime - he is revered by many especially for his poetry while for others his political links and warmongering rhetoric leaves some shadows on his undoubted genius. Steph and Ollie explore all sides of his character and his incredible lakeside house and memorial.
We highly recommend a visit to this thought provoking and stunning place if you are in Lake Garda.
