Lake Garda, Italy

Overview

A travelogue of the largest and most eastern of the great lakes of Northern Italy, enclosed by Alpine ridges on both sides, and dividing the Austrian Tyrol from the old Italian provinces of Venetia and Lombardy. This color film was made by the Natural Color Kinematograph Company in 1910. Back then, the northern tip of Lake Garda belonged to Austria-Hungary. Many of the buildings shown still stand today.
