Smit & Palarczyk > [ITALY.PIEMONTE 01606] 'Garden of Villa Taranto.'  Not only on the islands, on the shores of Lago Maggiore you encounter gardens as well. The one of Villa Taranto, situated on a peninsula between Intra and Pallanza, was designed by a Scottish officer. Its flower beds stand in close order. Photo Paul Smit.
Smit & Palarczyk > [ITALY.PIEMONTE 01618] 'Garden of Villa San Remigio.' An Irish paintress and her poet/musician from Napoli designed the garden around Villa San Remigio. Here English and Italian styles mix. The light decay adds to the visual poetry. Photo Paul Smit.
Smit & Palarczyk > [ITALY.PIEMONTE 01662] 'Isola Bella.'The 'beautiful island', main sight of the Lago Maggiore, is a man made piece of art. The garden is an ode to rationality, typical for the baroque. Strong geometry and symmetry typify the terraces rising high above the lake, adorned with statues and balustrades. At the same time the garden breathes surrealism. Photo Paul Smit.
Smit & Palarczyk > [ITALY.PIEMONTE 01670] 'Gardens of Isola Bella.'  Mother and daughter overlooking Isola Bella, the 'beautiful island', main sight of the Lago Maggiore. It is a man made piece of art. The garden is an ode to rationality, typical for the baroque. Strong geometry and symmetry typify the terraces rising high above the lake, adorned with statues and balustrades. At the same time the garden breathes surrealism. You can find lines of sight where the symmetry seems to dissolve. Then you seem to have encountered a stair pyramid in the jungle, designed by Salvador Dali. Photo Paul Smit.
Smit & Palarczyk > [ITALY.PIEMONTE 01677] 'The gardens of Isola Bella.' The 'beautiful island', main sight of the Lago Maggiore, is a man made piece of art. And the garden has no double in the world. Photo Paul Smit.
