Palazzo Borromeo

Palazzo Borromeo is a Baroque palace on the island of Isola Bella in Lake Maggiore. Built since 1632, this architectural gem impresses with its dramatic use of space, light and ornamentation.

The palace's interiors hide an impressive collection of artworks by masters such as Raphael, Correggio and Titian. The Berthier Gallery, with more than 130 paintings, is a veritable feast for art lovers.

Italian gardens from the 17th century delight with statues, fountains and exotic plants. Teatro Massimo - an amphitheater-like structure decorated with statues symbolizing the four elements and seasons - is where nature meets art.
