Costermano – an ancient feud of the monastery of St Julia at Brescia – is located as if it were a balcony facing the Lake Garda in the heart of the morainal amphitheatre. The hamlets of Marciaga overlooking the Lake Garda from the tall Castion at the foot of Belpo and Albarè in the plain of Tasso frame the village of Costermano. Here you can find many gorgeous and charming places. Val dei Mulini (the Water Mills Valley) and the German War Cemetery where 22,000 German soldiers are buried – the third most important by extension War Cemetery in Italy - deserve a careful visit. At Marciaga you should visit the seventeenth-century Sanctuary of the Blessed Virgin of Aid and some charming rocks with rupestrian inscriptions from where you can have a marvellous view over the Lake Garda. At Castion are located the Romanesque little Church of St Verolo, the elegant Villa Pellegrini Cipolla and the Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene with a beautiful ancona by Brusasorci. At Albarè – the native village of the Olympic discus thrower Adolfo Consolini – are located: the twelfth-century little Church of SS Fermo and Rustico and the enchanting Villa Torri-Giuliari with a wide park where among other beauties you can find also two little oaks counted in a census as the oldest of the whole Province of Verona.
