Museo della pesca e delle tradizioni locali

In the suggestive setting of the Sala Radetzky, a former pyrotechnic laboratory, at the Artillery barracks in Porta Verona, you will find the entrance to the Museo della pesca e delle tradizioni locali.
A recently revised structure that the Association "Amici del Gondolin", thanks also to the patronage of the Municipal Administration, after a few months of restoration, inaugurated on March 23rd 2013.
The Museum as it presents itself to the visitor's eyes, is composed in a series of consecutive rooms, each one located in an ideal path in stages that stands out for the quality and quantity of the exhibited material.
In the arcades that make up the room among the abundant photographic documentation you can find a collection of typical lake boats donated to our Association by members and our fellow citizens who constitute a real historical heritage of lake life. Some of them, like the ancient "Anguilara", a boat whose construction dates back to the end of the 19th century, recovered thanks to the divers of the Sub Club Peschiera, are for construction features typical only of our town.

Widespread in almost the northern hemisphere of the world, in Italy pike is a native species in many lakes, as lake Garda, ponds and waterways. The ideal habitat is the coastal strip on shallow sandy and muddy beds rich in algae and reeds.
It is a rather sedentary fish. In order to defend its territory it does not disdain very common cannibalism even in the youngest specimens.
