The gardens on Isola Bella on Lake Maggiore in northern Italy 🇮🇹 are considered to be some of the most beautiful in the world.🌎.

When Count Carlo Borromeo III decided to build a palace in the Baroque style, the style of the time, 1630, he thought of building it on the lower island, today Isola Bella, Lago Maggiore, Piemonte, Italia.

Count Carlo immediately wanted to change the name of the island by calling it Isola Isabella, like the name of his wife Isabella d'Adda, and from Isola Isabella it became Isola Bella.

The Lower Island, bought by the Borromeo was a rock with a fishing village. In 40 years Carlo III Borromeo and his son Vitaliano VI, with the help of many and important architects of the time, managed to transform a rock into an enchanted garden that everyone can visit today. Isola Bella today appears as a gigantic vessel that emerges from the lake where the stern is made up of the garden and the 10 sloping terraces, and the bow facing the Isola Pescatori is marked by the pier and the tip of the island.

It should be remembered that the garden of Isola Bella is considered the most beautiful Baroque garden in Europe.
