Villa Borromeo on Isola Bella, Maggiore

The magnificent baroque palace and garden located on the Isola Bella,
Lago Maggiore, was commissioned by the Count Borromeo, built in 1632.
The work on the palace has been ongoing for many years and
the finishing touches put in 1959. He named it "Isola Bella" after his wife's name.
Charles Borromeo(1538-1584), a leading Counter-Reformation combat against
the Protestant Reformation became a cardinal of the Roman Catholic Church,
archbishop of Milan, and a canonized saint in 1610 by the Pope Paul V.
Their family Motto is “Humilitas”, means “Humility”, pointing out
the humility you need to reach out God.
