Geography
Located on the eastern shore of
Garda, Lazise, Manerba del Garda, Moniga del Garda, Padenghe sul Garda, and Pastrengo. The economy is mostly based on tourism and production of wine (including the Bardolino DOC

History
Archaeological excavations have proven the presence of humans in the area since prehistoric times, in the area of Cisano. There are also traces of
ancient Romans, though the modern settlement dates to the early Middle Ages, when Berengar of Italy (983) had a castle built here. In that period the area was under the suzerainty of the Bobbio Abbey
.
In the 12th century Bardolino is mentioned as a
Kingdom of Italy
in 1866.
