Description: Limone sul Garda, ITALY - Lake Garda - Lemon Tree Cultivation: Limone sul Garda is not only sport, outdoor activities, and relaxation on the beaches: it is much more. For those who love history, art and culture, this small town on the shores of Lake Garda offers an incredible dive into the past: lemon houses, museums, churches, and olive groves. Since the 10th century the name Limon appears in many documents, often transformed into Limonum, Limono and Limone. According to some, the name derives from limen = border or from lima = river. However, these are not derivatives of the fruit 'lemon', but, according to the most recent studies in toponymy, "rather reflections of an ancient voice of Celtic origin limo, lemos = 'elm'"; hence Limone = "place characterized by the presence of elms". The name of the town has been Limone San Giovanni since 1863; in 1904 it took on its current name of Limone sul Garda. The first evidence of human settlements on the shores of Benàco (the ancient name for Lake Garda) dates to Neolithic times. The southern shores and surrounding moraine hills are the densest area of pile-dwelling sites in Italy. More than 40 settlements are known to exist in this area; today, together with the pile-dwelling villages of Fiavé (3800-3600 BC) and Ledro (2200-1350 BC) they are part of the UNESCO World Heritage List. Lake Garda is the largest lake in Italy. It is a popular holiday location in northern Italy, between Brescia and Milan to the west, and Verona and Venice to the east. The lake cuts into the edge of the Italian Alps, particularly the Alpine sub-ranges of the Garda Mountains and the Brenta Group. Glaciers formed this alpine region at the end of the last ice age. The lake and its shoreline are divided between the provinces of Brescia (to the south-west), Verona (south-east) and Trentino (north). This Divided Back Era (1907-15) postcard is in good condition.
