Gardone

Gardone is a toponym in Lombardy, northern Italy, used for several places in the province of Brescia. The most notable are Gardone Riviera and Gardone Val Trompia, both municipalities with distinct settings and histories.

Gardone Riviera is situated on the western shore of Lake Garda in the Brescia area. It is a popular tourist destination known for its scenic lakeside promenade, historic villas, and well-kept gardens. The town is also home to Vittoriale degli Italiani, the hilltop complex that was the residence of writer and national figure Gabriele d’Annunzio; today it functions as a museum and cultural site.

Gardone Val Trompia lies in the Val Trompia valley northeast of Brescia, occupying part of the Alpine foothills. The area has a long industrial tradition, particularly in metalworking and armaments, and is associated with small- to medium-sized manufacturing firms that contribute to the regional economy. The municipality forms part of a broader network of communities in the Brescia hinterland.

In addition to these, the name Gardone appears in other localities within Lombardy. When seeking information, it is helpful to specify the province or the full municipal name to avoid confusion between places sharing the same toponym.
