Vittoriale degli italiani

In 1921, the poet Gabriele D'Annunzio settled in Gardone Riviera in what was then 'Villa Cargnacco', which the poet later transformed into the monumental complex of the Vittoriale degli Italiani. The eclectic composition retains all the splendor of its origins, offering the public the opportunity to immerse themselves in another world, almost as if to cross the thoughts and fantasies of the original artist from Pescara.

In this magical place, visitors may admire the Prioria, D'Annunzio's personal home, the Puglia Ship, the Mausoleum where the Vate is buried in the center. There are the MAS, the cars, gardens and the open-air Amphitheater that hosts numerous performances of prose, music and dance every summer.
