The town is called Peschiera del Garda, and it's located at the southern tip of the lake, in the province of Verona. A popular tourist destination, the town was part of the Austro-Hungarian Empire prior to World War I, and was home to one of four major fortifications which protected Austria-Hungary's border with Italy. In earlier times, it was the home of a bastian fort which protected the Venetian Empire.
