Many archeological finds dating back to the Bronze Age (16th - 13th century B.C.) have been brought to light in La Quercia, Bor and Porto di Pacengo. The ancient Lasitium had been a port since the Roman days. The Bevilacqua family ruled over the town in the 9th century and also built a castle there. Already a city-state in 983 under the rule of Emperor Otto of Saxony, Lazise on lake garda was granted considerable military and commercial autonomy, a right that was expanded by later emperors.
The Della Scala family turned Lazise into defensive bulwark and built an arsenal, which later became the Customs House in 1607 when Lazise became a part of the Venice Republic. All products such as olive oil, grain, textiles, paper and hardware which were transported on the lake garda and Adige River had to pass through the Customs House. The town therefore became an important trading hub. After the Napoleonic period, Lazise was ruled by the Austrians from 1815 to 1866. Following the Third War of Independence and subsequent plebiscite, it became a part of the Kingdom of Italy.

This hamlet became a part of the Lazise municipality in 1811. The parish church dedicated to Saint John the Baptist was rebuilt at the end of 18th century in neoclassical style.
Designed by architect Leonardo Rossi, the church contains an altar piece and interesting frescoes by Pio Piatti and Marcantonio Bassetti. Villa Gemma Brenzoni (18th - 19th century), Villa Balladoro De Beni (18th century) and Villa Alberti (19th century), all surrounded by beautiful gardens, are worth visiting.

This charming hamlet three kilometers south of Lazise is surrounded by the large parks of Villa Miniscalchi (18th century), Villa Da Sacco (16th century), and Villa Fumanelli (17th - 18th century). Noteworthy are the 17th century church of Our Lady of the Snows (Madonna della Neve) and the Santa Maria e San Giorgio parish church, which was rebuilt in the 18th century.

About 500 meters from the shore of the small port of Lazise, a Venetian galley nearly 30 meters long and 3 meters wide lies on the muddy bottom of the lake garda at a depth of approximately 24 - 27 meters. According to recent studies, after the defeat of the Venetian troops at Agnadello in 1509, Zuane Moro, the Captain of the lake, burned and sank the boat, loading its hold with rocks.
