As he travelled across the desert during his eight missionary journeys in Africa, Daniel Comboni must often have thought of the waters of Lake Garda in Northern Italy. Set into the hill side, his parents' home looked down onto the deep blue of the lake. It was here that Comboni was born on 15 March 1831. Comboni's father worked locally as a gardener. His mother, a housewife, bore eight children. Apart from the eldest, who lived until he was twenty-one, Daniel was the only child to survive.
