Dark clouds over Lake Garda........

Villa Bettoni is a splendid and majestic Lombardian villa of the 18th century in the little town of Gargnano at the shore of Lake Garda.

During the Second Word War it was occupied and for few years became the seat of Council of Fascim.

18 important conferences took place here and in that villa Mussoloni proclaimed the Italian Social Republic, which, however, turned out to be nothing more than a puppet state of Adolf Hitler.

The dictator Mussolini and his girlfriend were excecuted in april 1945........
