One of my favourite spots in the world. We used to fly into Bergamo airport when going ski-ing in Bormio. Past Ferrariville and along by Lake Como. After a few years we spent a summer holiday near Maggiore visiting Lugano as well.

Well I know Lake Garda is to the east of Iseo, but I don't think it's usually classed as one of the Italian Lakes. There are also a few smaller ones, but I havn't got a clue what their names are, its over 13 years since I last visited the Lakes bit.

To put everybody's mind at rest the answer is -
6 Lakes -
Lago di Como, Maggiore, Orta, Garda, Lugano, & Lago d'Iseo.
