Magasa

Few communities in Lombardy have a history as closely tied to the former Austrian border as Magasa. This small municipality occupies upper Val Vestino in the Brescia Prealps, west of Lake Garda, where wooded slopes and narrow roads underline its inland setting. Until the end of the First World War, Magasa belonged to the Austrian County of Tyrol; that past distinguishes it from much of present-day Lombardy. The nearby Lake Valvestino, a reservoir in the valley, adds another reference point for exploring this sparsely settled corner of the Garda hinterland. Magasa retains the scale of a mountain community rather than a resort town, with a local identity shaped by farming traditions and its cross-border past.
