Villa Feltrinelli

Mussolini managed his republic out of Feltrinelli in Gargnano.
In that time, the villa was painted olive-green and there was an anti aircraft gun located on the roof of the villa.
Mussolini did not stay there gladly because he hated lakes. Moreover the German doctors gladly put him on a strict diet because of its flatulence complaints and he couldn't eat and drink things that he liked (fruit & milk).

Nowadays, the villa is used as a hotel.
