Malcesine The intense light, the sun dancing on
the crests of the lake and the radiant sunsets arouse unique and
unrepeatable sensations.
Lights and shadows define the imposing masses of the steep slopes
that rise almost menacingly above the deep, inaccessible gorges
of Mount Baldo, the ancient testimony of chaotic
and devastating cataclysms that shaped a rough and difficult environment,
in stark contrast with the small inhabited area, the fruit of landslides
that the Mediterranean climate and the slow work of nature and man
have softened, with hillsides rich with olives, cypress trees and
oleanders.
Many gardens still host lemon trees laden with fragrant flowers
and golden fruits, which stand out among the intensely green fronds,
the remains of more ancient and vaster lemon-houses,
which time and urban expansion have irretrievably cancelled.
