Manerba del Garda is a comune in the province of Brescia, in Lombardy, Italy. It is located on the southwestern shore of Lake Garda. The name Manerba is thought to derive from the Latin word “manubrium”, meaning “handle”, referring to the shape of the peninsula on which the town is located.
Manerba del Garda has a long and rich history, dating back to the Bronze Age. The town was first mentioned in written records in the 10th century, and it has been ruled by a variety of powers over the centuries, including the Romans, the Lombards, and the Venetians. In 1861, Manerba del Garda became part of the newly unified Kingdom of Italy.
