Monte Isola

Built around lakeside fishing settlements, Monte Isola grew into Italy’s largest lake-island municipality. Set in Lake Iseo between the provinces of Brescia and Bergamo, the island is defined by steep wooded slopes, small waterfront hamlets and a shoreline road where private traffic is tightly restricted. Fishing remains central to local identity: the island is known for hand-made fishing nets and for sardines preserved by drying, a traditional product of Lake Iseo. Above the settlements, the Sanctuary of Madonna della Ceriola stands near the summit. Ferries link Monte Isola with Sulzano and Sale Marasino on the eastern shore.
