On one particular business trip to Brecia I stayed in an Albergo close to lake Garda.

I woke up the next morning to find my face, one arm and one of my arse cheeks had been dined upon by several battalions of starving mosquitos!

However, If you were to take the precaution to carry a can/pump spray of "off" you will find the lakes are the most wonderful places, and the cuisine is to die for.
