The story behind the image
Lake Garda in Italy is a beautiful destination for everyone, but its proximity to Munich, Germany, makes it perfect for a short weekend trip. It takes just four hours by car (sometimes even faster) and takes you to Italy – or at least into a region with a lot of Italian flair. And I don’t mean this in a negative way. Of course, the folks in the mountain regions of Italy definitely are Italian, but they will admit a certain influence from Austria and Switzerland (depending on where they actually are located in the Alps.)
And so, in Spring 2002 we visited Malcesine for a couple of days, and I shot this photo of the Castello Scaligero di Malcesine from the Paina Beach (here’s a shot of the Castello at sunset). I really like the old fashioned 1950s postcard look and the pittoresque placement of the boats.
