"Sirmio, jewel of islands and of peninsulas, Whatever each Neptune carries In the stagnant clear waters and in the vast sea, How gladly and how happy I see you, Scarcely myself believing myself that I have left behind Thynia and the Bithynian fields and that I see you in safety. O what is more blessed than cares freed, When the mind puts down its burden, And we tired from foreign labor come To our hearth and rest in a longed for bed? This is that which is the one thing for such great labors. Greetings, O beautiful Sirmio, and rejoice in your master rejoicing; And you, O Lydian waves of the lake, Laugh whatever there is of laughter at home" Carme 31 - Gaius Valerius Catullus"

«Sirmione, perla delle penisole e delle isole, di tutte quante, sulla distesa di un lago trasparente o del mare senza confini, offre il Nettuno delle acque dolci e delle salate, con quale piacere, con quale gioia torno a rivederti; a stento mi persuado d'avere lasciato la Tinia e le contrade di Bitinia, e di poterti guardare in tutta pace. Ma c'è cosa più felice dell'essersi liberato dagli affanni, quando la mente depone il fardello e stanchi di un viaggio in straniere regioni siamo tornati al nostro focolare e ci stendiamo nel letto desiderato? Questa, in cambio di tante fatiche, è l'unica soddisfazione. Salve, amabile Sirmione, festeggia il padrone, e voi, onde del lago di Lidia, festeggiatelo: voglio da voi uno scroscio di risate, di tutte le risate che avete.» Carme 31 - Gaius Valerius Catullus
