Campione del Garda has been inhabited since ancient times. The village had been prosperous as an industrial site with mills and forges for many centuries until 1807 when a flashflood destroyed the infrastructures. After a fairly long period of slow activity, tourism came to the rescue of the village for economic prosperity. Campione del Garda, Province of Brescia, Lombardy, Italy.

Kitesurfing kites being prepared for water sports enthusiasts at the idyllic spot of Campione del Garda. Campione del Garda is a paradisiac summer spot for kitesurfers and windsurfers as the wind is fairly strong and predictable; catabatic (down a slope, a valley) early in the day and anabatic (rising up a slope, a valley) in the mid-morning. For an added thrill, the nearby cliff will satisfy the occasional base jumper. Campione del Garda, Province of Brescia, Lombardy, Italy.
