Lake Garda (Italian Lago di Garda or Benaco) is the largest lake in Italy. It is located in Northern Italy, about half-way between Venice and Milan. It is in an alpine region and was formed by glaciers at the end of the last ice age. The lake and its shoreline are divided between the provinces of Verona (to the south-east), Brescia (south-west), and Trento (north). The lake is a major tourist destination, with a number of hotels and resorts along its shore.

In the small park, right next to the church of San Severo, this standing tomb-stone can be seen. It is very simple with writen text in Latin which, of course, cannot be understanding to us accidental tourists. Besides, nothing in the city guide indicates of its existing here.

Finally, this is the look of the rear side of San Severo, where the presbytery is. Although barely decorated, it looks very impressive to me. Very tall bell tower, fascinating in its simplicity, stands alone next to the church. It is almost in disproportion with the size of the church, but only almost.

The real jewel of San Severo's interiors are the remnants of an early Christian sacral object, hidden in the basement of the altar. It is surprisingly well preserved.
