Lake Garda
Lake Garda or Benaco is the largest Italian lake, with an area of ​​about 370 km² (third by depth after Como and Maggiore). A hinge between three regions, Lombardy (province of Brescia), Veneto (province of Verona), Trentino-Alto Adige (province of Trento), it is placed in parallel with the Adige, from which it is divided by the Monte Baldo massif. To the north it is narrow and funnel-shaped while to the south it widens, surrounded by moraine hills that make the landscape sweeter. The lake is an important tourist destination and is visited by millions of people every year. In Roman times the lake was known as Benacus and by some it was revered as god Benacus, the very personification of the lake, sometimes associated with the cult of the god Neptune. Today it is better known as Lake Garda, a toponym attested since the Middle Ages and of Germanic origin, deriving from that of the homonymous town on the Veronese shore of the lake, which, together with another famous locality of the lake, Gardone Riviera, and others less known, such as Gàrdola, Gardoncino, Gardoni, Guàrdola and Le Garde, testifies to the Germanic presence that goes from the sixth to the eighth century, in particular the Lombard one. The toponym Garda, with which the lake is already called in some documents of the eighth century, is the evolution of the Germanic word warda, or “guard place” or “place of observation”. The classic toponym of the lake, or Benācus lacus (Benaco), is almost certainly of Celtic origin, thus preceding the Roman dominion, and should derive from bennacus, comparable with the Irish bennach, and would mean “horned”, or from the many promontories. The translation “horned” is also interpreted in reference to the Sirmione peninsula. The Latin voice of Benaco is attested as Benācus, -i and therefore presupposes a flat accent (Benàco): the Italian version of the tonic accent remains faithful to the Latin accent, so it must be pronounced with the accent on “a”. The inhabitants of the lake, especially those of the Veronese shore, pronounce the name Benaco with the accent on the “e”, or Bènaco. It remains unclear why the natives of the lake areas tend to use the version with the slippery accent of the name.
