Sometimes, when we wander through a place, the little details escape us — and in Gargnano, those details are full of charm. Take a moment to look at the windows, or even better, the window shutters. Many are adorned with delicate figures and motifs, a tradition typical of northern Italy, especially Lombardia, dating back to the 18th century.
In the Brescia province, it was common to carve faces or decorative patterns into shutters, combining artistry with practicality. These shutters were not just for decoration — they protect the home from the strong Lake Garda winds, known locally as the “Ora” and “Peler”.
