Lake Garda
Lake Garda, or Benaco, is the largest Italian lake, with a surface area of approximately 370 km² (third in depth after Como and Maggiore). A link between three regions: Lombardy (province of Brescia), Veneto (province of Verona), and Trentino-Alto Adige (province of Trento), it lies parallel to the Adige River, separated from it by the Monte Baldo massif. To the north, it is narrow and funnel-shaped, while to the south it widens, surrounded by moraine hills that soften the landscape. The lake is a major tourist destination, visited by millions of people each year. In Roman times, the lake was known as Benacus and was worshipped by some as the god Benacus, a personification of the lake itself, sometimes associated with the cult of the god Neptune. Today it is better known as Lake Garda, a name documented since the Middle Ages and of Germanic origin, deriving from the town of the same name on the Veronese shore of the lake. This town, along with another famous lakeside town, Gardone Riviera, and other lesser-known ones, such as Gàrdola, Gardoncino, Gardoni, Guàrdola, and Le Garde, testifies to the Germanic presence from the 6th to the 8th centuries, particularly the Lombards. The toponym Garda, by which the lake is referred to in some 8th-century documents, is the evolution of the Germanic word warda, meaning “guard post” or “observation post.” The lake’s classic toponym, Benācus lacus (Benaco), is almost certainly of Celtic origin, thus predating Roman rule, and is thought to derive from bennacus, comparable to the Irish bennach, meaning “horned,” meaning “with many promontories.” The translation “horned” is also interpreted as referring to the Sirmione peninsula. The Latin word for Benaco is attested as Benācus, -i, and therefore presupposes a flat accent (Benàco). The Italian version of the tonic accent remains faithful to the Latin accent, so it should be pronounced with the accent on the “a.” The inhabitants of the lake, especially those on the Verona shore, pronounce the name Benaco with the accent on the “e,” or Bènaco.
