A total of 155 potential roost sites were checked: natural or artificial underground sites (11%), bridges and boat basins (25%), churches (36%), cemeteries (12%) and other buildings (16%). Underground sites were visited both in summer and winter, the other sites only in summer. Mist-netting was performed in wetlands at sites located in the southern, central and northern parts of the lake area. Additional data were obtained by acoustic surveys and from the finding of dead or injured bats. We recorded at least 18 species and 79 roosts. Pipistrellus kuhlii and P. pipistrellus were the species most frequently observed roosting in buildings; Myotis daubentonii was the commonest species in bridges and boat basins. Such species were also the most frequently caught in mist-netting sessions. Three winter roosts (each used by 1-10 bats) and a nursery site used by species of major conservation concern (Habitats Directive, Annex II) were found. Annual counts of the maternity colony varied from 694 to 919 bats aged > 1 year, mainly M.

    Italy: The idyllic Lakes of the North Route, from Milan to Verona, tailor­made by car Nature, art, cuisine and all the glamour of the Belle Époque on a unique road trip at the foot of the Alps From the attractive and dynamic Milan, world epicentre of fashion and design, to the romantic Verona, the city of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, this is an idyllic tour that runs through the famous lakes of Northern Italy. Ahead will be some of the most beautiful and authentic landscapes in the country, the sanctuary of artists, dreamers and celebrities from all over the world. A magnificent vision of nature, completed by an important artistic and culinary heritage, praised by writers such as Hemingway, Goethe or Byron. This will be a trip to one of the most popular holiday destinations since Roman times. You'll go home with memories of the area's charismatic villages and photogenic lakes, formed at the end of the Ice Age and sheltered by the majestic peaks of the Alps. Fishing boats bobbing up and down alongside enchanting piers, magnificent romantic villas, palaces in the Borromean Gulf and Islands, churches and castles perched on hills or cliffs, and beautiful hotels that today still ooze the glamour so characteristic of the Belle Époque. The "Idyllic Lakes of the North, from Milan to Verona" tour is an itinerary to be enjoyed from behind the wheel, savouring every kilometre of the way. It weaves through enchanting villages such as Orta di San Giulio or Bellagio; skirts along stunning lakes such as Orta, Maggiore, Como and Garda; and takes the traveller to cities in northern Italy as seductive as Milan, Bergamo, Brescia, Verona, Modena and Parma.

The lakes are the main characteristic of Como and Lecco provinces, surrounded by a range of important mountains which open up to the hilly countryside of Brianza to the South, the home to entrepreneurship.
