The Vittoriale degli Italiani is a landmark in Gardone Riviera. The famous poet Gabriele D’Annunzio once resided there and bequeathed it to the Italian people. The project was the brainchild of architect Giancarlo Maroni. Work on converting the original house commenced in 1921 and continued until after the poet’s death. It was declared a national monument in 1925 and is now an immense open-air museum.
