  6. The Via Gallica lapped Lake Garda and was used by the Roman centres located on the lake: Peschiera del Garda (Arilica), Desenzano, Sirmione and Lonato

  7. There were two roads that ran along the shores of Lake Como: one on the east side and one on the west side Via Regina Via Ducale

  8. Via Regina The Via Regina was on the western shore of Lake Como. Its function was to support the waterways which were preferred for the transportation of people and goods. It was made during Roman times

  9. Via Ducale or Del Viandante is less famous than the Via Regina. It runs along the eastern side of the lake

  13. Passenger transport on the great Italian lakes is provided both by state and private companies. The first public company was founded in the middle of the last century, when it inherited the service from the various private enterprises that had managed it since the 19th century

  14. Lake Como At the end of World War I in 1918, the "Lariana" company that used to run the navigation service on Lake Como to cope with the increasing number of passengers, built new steamers, one of them was called "Patria."

  15. At the end of 1826 the Lariana company launched a second steamer, the Plinio. The two boats sailed between Como and Colico, making adventurous dockings and embarkations along the way. They would stop at Cavagnola to restock on timber and at Bellagio to allow passengers to change for Lecco
