Smit & Palarczyk > [ITALY.PIEMONTE 01527] 'Isola di San Giulio.' The romanesque basilica of San Giulio at Isola di San Giulio in Lago d'Orta. Its interior contains some beautiful frescoes. Photo Paul Smit.
Smit & Palarczyk > [ITALY.PIEMONTE 01593] 'Goats with a view.' While in high season tourists are trapped in the traffic on the road circling Lago Maggiore, a few hundred meters up you'll find perfect quietness. Take a hike and share the marvellous panoramas with the goats. The Alto Verbano offers the best slopes for such walks. Photo Paul Smit.
Smit & Palarczyk > [ITALY.PIEMONTE 01630] 'Grand hotel.' Stresa, at the shores of Lago Maggiore, is a lakeside resort of the Belle Époque. In the 'Grand Hotel des Iles Borromées', its centerpiece, the era of plush and marmor never ended. 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.
Smit & Palarczyk > [ITALY.PIEMONTE 01681] 'In the gardens of Isola Bella.' View over Lago Maggiore from the gardens of Isola Bella, indeed the 'beautiful island.' Photo Paul Smit.
Smit & Palarczyk > [ITALY.PIEMONTE 01684] 'Lago Maggiore seen from Isola Bella.' The 'beautiful island', main sight of the Lago Maggiore, is a man made piece of art. An ode to rationality, being baroque, as well a surrealistic dream. Photo Paul Smit.
Smit & Palarczyk > [ITALY.PIEMONTE 01735] 'Best panorama.' The best spot for looking down on Lago Maggiore and the Borromeo Islands is the Giardino Botanico Alpinia, a short walk from the Alpino cable car station above Stresa. Photo Paul Smit.
