Salò is a city that offers its visitors not only the charm of the lake, but also a rich cultural programme. The month of April 2023 presents a series of unmissable events for lovers of art, history and nature.

- On Sunday, 2 April, the 3rd Historic Cultural Event, organised by Emmeci Eventi, will feature a gathering of 20th century saloon and family cars. A unique opportunity to admire the cars that have made Italian and international motoring history, from Fiat to Alfa Romeo, from Lancia to Mercedes. The rally will start at 8.30 a.m. from Salò and will drive along the roads of Lake Garda, until it reaches the Nicolis Museum in Villafranca di Verona, where it will be possible to visit the collection of vintage cars, motorbikes and bicycles.
- On Friday, 7 April, Mu.Sa., the Salò Museum, will reopen to the public after its winter closure. The museum houses a permanent exhibition dedicated to the history and culture of the city and the Garda area, from the Middle Ages to the 20th century, with works of art, documents and testimonies. The museum will be open from Tuesday to Sunday, from 10 am to 6 pm.
- On Friday 14 April, the first evening of the cycle 'Travel Diary - An open window on the world to share beauty and knowledge', promoted by the Due Pini Cultural Association, will be held. These are meetings in which speakers recount their experiences of travelling to distant and fascinating places, accompanied by images and music.
