History

Lazise is a town on the east shore of Lake Garda. Its name derives from the Latin “lacus” that it means lacustrine village. Lazise in fact was originally a group of stilt houses beyond that Roman village and market. Between 888 and 961, during the reign of Berengario I and his son, the town was subject only to the monarch, that is, it was a “free villa” not subject to some feudatary. In the 961, when Italy was occupied from the Germany troops, that descended through the valley of the Adige to camp the shores of Garda.

In 983, Ottone Sassonia granted Lazise the right to fortify itself and establish trading rights. The medieval Church of "Saint Nicolò", from the twelfth century, has frescoes by the school of Giotto. The custom house from the 1500s was constructed for the control of trade. During the 13th and 14th century, Lazise was occupied by the Scaligeri of Verona that encircled it with turrets and walls and built the castle. In 1405, it finally came under Venetian rule till Napoleon conquered northern Italy. After the conference of Vienna (1815) it entered a period of Austrian rule, till in 1866, it became incorporated into rule by the Italian monarchy [ [http://www.lazisecomune.it/w3c/index_2.htm|Commune of Lazise] ] .
