EDITORS COMMENTS
Torbole, Lake Garda, Italy: A Nod to Goethe's Past Nestled on the northern shores of Lake Garda in Italy, the charming town of Torbole beckons visitors with its enchanting beauty and rich history. Among the many notables who have graced its shores, none hold a more significant place in its annals than the great German writer, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. In the late 1780s, Goethe, then a renowned polymath, embarked on a grand tour of Italy. During his travels, he made a memorable stop in Torbole, leaving behind a passionate and longing recollection of the town in his writings. The town, now a popular destination for German tourists, proudly celebrates this connection to its esteemed past. This postcard, dating back to the 1910s, captures a memorial tablet dedicated to Goethe, situated on the arcade of the building where he once stayed. The tablet, inscribed with the author's image and the inscription 'Johann Wolfgang von Goethe 1786,' stands as a testament to the enduring influence of the great writer. The arcade, adorned with intricate stonework and elegant arches, frames the tablet, creating an inviting and picturesque setting. The memorial tablet, with its stately lions and ornate fountain, adds to the public square's charm, making it a must-visit destination for history and literature enthusiasts. The tranquil waters of Lake Garda, with their shimmering reflections, provide a serene backdrop to the scene. The town of Torbole, with its charming architecture and rich history, continues to captivate visitors, much like it did for Goethe over two centuries ago.
