Sailing into sunset
Sirmione after dark—your stories, your memories, a glass of Lugana wine, and the lake at twilight
A boat, a sunset, and your voice on Sirmione… and let the twilight do the rest!
On Thursday, June 11th, 2026, at 8 PM, the English Café, invites you to embark on a special voyage. A rendezvous for storytelling and conversation amidst the tranquil waters of Lake Garda.
This special gathering with the English reading group of the Sirmione Library will take place on a boat! A special tour around the peninsula of Sirmione, where attendees will be actively involved in having their say on Sirmione. Whether it’s a fascinating fact from the past, a personal memory, a present-day observation, or simply a curiosity you’ve always had about the town, this is your chance to share it with fellow participants.

…by the way, the book we are reading for the Sirmione Book Club English and that will be discussed on September 10th 2026 at the Public Library is Three Hours by
Rosamund Lupton.
Our English reading group features monthly encounters, organized as follows:
- The Sirmione Book Club English, on uneven months in the Municipal Library, with books proposed by the coordinators Rosemary Williamson, Rosalind Rabbitt and Ann Davies.
- The English Cafè, on even months, where to more freely talk about books we’d like to read, share, propose. The English Cafè, as the name suggests, will not take place in the Public Library, but in a more informal venue, namely a pub, bar, hotel or vinery in Sirmione. The designated place will be announced each time.
