You step onto the Sant’Agostino dock and the lake immediately takes the lead: a cool breeze lifts the brim of your hat, and the skipper pops a chilled bottle of prosecco. The speedboat slices through glassy water, passing the plunging gorge of Orrido di Nesso where small waterfalls dare the lake to move faster, and lawns of villas tumble toward the shoreline like private gardens for a handful of aristocrats.
