Riva del Garda is a town of 15,170 inhabitants in the province of Trento (Italy).
Riva del Garda is located at the north-western corner of Lake Garda also called Benàco (70 m above sea level).
Mount Rocchetta (1,575 m) rises steeply to the west, with Mount Baldo (2,218 m) to the east.
This location makes Riva del Garda one of the most spectacular spots around Lake Garda. Tourism is the most important activity of the town.
There exists however other industrial activities like paper manufacturing.
Riva del Garda belonged to the republic of Venice and later to the Austro-Hungarian empire until 1918, and since then to Italy.
The Museo Civico is placed in the Rocca, a medieval fortress placed on the lake, bounded by a canal with lifting bridge.
It is the seat of frequent cultural activities especially during summer.
