More than 2000 paintings and, first of all, the famous Picture Gallery („Galleria dei Quadri“ or General Berthier’s Gallery) in the Palace of the Isola Bella are waiting for you!
There you can find a real Lombard baroque museum rich in 130 important paintings collected by the Borromeo Family: from Leonardo’s Followers to the Baroque itself through wonderful copies of artists’ works of art such as Raffaello, Correggio, Tiziano and Guido Reni.
Among the others don’t fail to see Bergognone, Boltraffio, Giampietrino, Paris Bordon and Procaccini’s masterpieces too.
The Gallery was visited also from Princes Charles and Diana from Wales in the past.
Not only. On the Isola Bella the beautiful baroque Ss. Carlo and Vittore Church can’t be missed.
Otherwise come to the Isola Pescatori and discover its many hotels and restaurants in a nice fishers’ hamlet. They will be ready to offer to you their special menus based on lake fish dishes for a romantic stay or simply an amazing night.
Val Grande: the largest wilderness area in Italy, but also an outdoor museum of the ancient civilization of the Alps. The abandonment of the alpine summer pastures and of the deforestation practice led to the return to wilderness: nature becomes the master. The richness and variety of the vegetation represent one of the greatest attractions of the area, with impenetrable woods and a "very colored" flora. A Park with many secrets: timid animals, steep deep valleys, crystal-clear waters in gorges protected by overhanging walls, and charming views, from Mt. Rosa to Lago Maggiore. Enjoy this fantastic wild area!
