Lazise, Medieval commune in Province of Verona, Italy
The town extends along the eastern shore of Lake Garda with stone walls enclosing streets that lead to a central harbor area at 76 meters elevation.
In 983, Otto I granted Lazise the right to fortify itself and establish trading rights, making it the first documented free commune in Italy.
The Scaliger Castle, constructed in the 14th century, contains three original gates with drawbridges and stands as the central architectural feature of Lazise.
The municipality includes two additional localities, Cola and Pacengo, connected by public transportation and offering various accommodation options near Lake Garda.
Residents maintain the tradition of Cuccagna del Cadenon, where participants attempt to climb a pole extending over the water of Lake Garda.
