Isola Bella: the story
In 1632 Carlo III Borromeo decided to start building a palace for his wife Isabella d'Adda, chose a nude island placed in front of Stresa, Verbano where it flows into the Gulf of the river Toce. The work suffered a setback in mid-seventeenth century because of the plague developed in the duchy of Milan, but were resumed with renewed vigor by the sons of Charles III: Cardinal Giberto III (1615-1672) and especially V italiano VI ( 1620-1690). This had the merit to entrust the completion of the work of the famous Roman architect Carlo Fontana.

The opening of the gardens instead of 1671, with Charles IV (1657-1734) scholar and art lover himself. In the late eighteenth / early nineteenth century, the palace was visited by Napoleon and Josephine de Beauharnais and Princess of Wales, Caroline Amelia of Brunswick.

The palace and gardens: a visit to Isola Bella
Baroque-style shades Mannerist, the imposing building that occupies almost the entire island was designed by the most famous architects of the time. The interior is elegant and luxuriously furnished houses an unmissable collection of tapestries, Flemish tapestries. The underground chambers, however, are characterized according to the fashion of the time of artificial caves with walls encrusted with shells and decorated with mirrors and black marble nymphs.

But what really stands out and leaves you speechless is the famous park: a formal garden terraces composed of ten overlapping truncated pyramid, adorned with statues, fountains, rare shrubs, exotic plants and flowers in delicate scents such as magnolia and camellias . The top of the gardens, nicknamed "bowl" to the representations that were held here, is surmounted by the unicorn, coat of arms of the Borromeo family.

I looked up this video, because my daughter is traveling through Europe on a concert tour with the Sound of America Honor Band and Chorus, singing alto II in the chorus. Today, 11 July 2013, they are in Italy and will tour Verona and Stresa. I shared this on my Facebook, so my friends and hers could see Isola Bella Stresa! Thanks for this lovely video tour :D

Thank you for bringing back so many precious memories from years ago, both eyes were streaming.
We spent our honeymoon in Stresa.
I do remember thinking this place cant exist, It was like walking around in wonderland.
I was half expecting Dean Martin to appear.
We named our daughter Isolabella there, even though she was not born for another 5 years. (we call her Isobelle)
I also thought Orta was enchanting.
Well done.
