I agree great review- one historical fact to correct though is that the Villa Feltrinelli was the house of the Feltrinelli family who were anything but Mussolini supporters- in fact they were part of the opposition. When they were forced to leave Garda the villa was used by others- a historical small distinction but an important one I would say.

A little more information can be found here in English:
