Marone - Monumento ai Caduti del Mare

Between Iseo and Pisogne lies the lakeside town of Marone. Marone is an ideal place for hiking and mountain biking tours. Since the 16th century, Marone has been considered one of the most important industrial centers on Lake Iseo.

Today, Marone is famous for its olive groves, which has earned it the nickname "Oil City". There is a beautiful and well-maintained olive park behind the Monumento ai Caduti del Mare in Via Caduti del Marre 53, with a very nice and protected playground. Mountains and lake views plus adjacent to a bar/restaurant make it excellent for a family break, if you are passing through this area of Lake Iseo.
