Gardone Riviera is a town in the province of Brescia, in Lombardy. It is situated on the western shore of Lake Garda.

It is now a national monument and houses a MAS fast military ship and the plane on which D'Annunzio raided Vienna. The town also contains The Giardino Botanico Fondazione André Heller, a botanical garden maintained by artist André Heller.

Hi All,

I have a disused gas meter box in the house wall and I have to set a water meter in the wall for a new connection. Can I remove the gas meter box and use the hole to fit the water meter box to save getting a builder/having another unsightly box?
