Context

Peschiera del Garda is a UNESCO World Heritage Site — one of the Venetian fortresses protecting the lagoon. The fortifications were built in the 16th century and later modified by the Austrians. The town now sits within a major tourist zone but its military heritage is still physically dominant.
