Hotel Catullo, founded in 1888, held the first public commerce licence in Sirmione and is one of Italy's historical hotels. It takes its name from the famous poet born hereabouts, one of the young socalled "new" poets who made a lasting mark on Latin poetry, mainly with themes of eroticism and love. Several verses have become eternal still cited throughout the world and which return in elegant frescoes on the hotel walls, on the various floors leading to the rooms.
