Lake Mantua

A romantic legend revolves around the presence of the lotus flower in the waters of Lake Superior, which tells of the sad end of a young oriental woman who drowned while looking at herself in the lake. Her boyfriend, devastated by grief, sprinkled the lake with lotus flower seeds, so that the delicacy of the flowers, in the summer season, would recall the scent and sweetness of his beloved. In reality, this splendid oriental flower was imported from the countries of South-East Asia in 1921 by the botanist Maria Pellegreffi. It was she who transplanted some bulbs she had received as a gift into these waters, creating a small island where she placed them and studied their growth. Over time, the inhabitants of the towns overlooking the Mincio began to pull them out and plant them on the banks, to embellish their gardens and ports. It was in this way that this splendid weed spread beyond measure, creating a wonderful spectacle.
