Isola del Garda or Isola di Garda or Isola Borghese is the biggest island on Lake Garda. It is part of the ''comune'' of San Felice del Benaco, in the Province of Brescia, Lombardy, Italy. The island has a long and varied history, having been used as a Roman burial ground, pirate lair, a site for a Franciscan monastery, border fortification and as a residential villa. The island has been visited by numerous famous people over the centuries, reportedly including Francis of Assissi, Anthony of Padua and Dante Alighieri. Today, it is covered by a park and is dominated by the Venetian neogothic ''Villa Borghese Cavazza''. Although privately owned by the Cavazza family, Isola del Garda has been open to visitors since 2002. ==Geography== Isola del Garda is located in the southwest of Lake Garda, just south of the Gulf of Salò, close to the town of San Felice del Benaco, in Brescia province. It is separated from ''Capo San Fermo'' by only about 220 meters of open water. It is by far the largest island on the lake. The island (or actually islands, since Isola del Garda includes some small outcroppings of rock and most of the park is divided from the house by a narrow channel) was initially just rocks jutting out from the lake. All the soil for the gardens was brought in over time by the inhabitants. The island is around long, but only around wide at the widest point. It is now mostly covered by a park and formal gardens with a large variety of plants.
