Places to see in ( Stresa - Italy ) Palazzo Borromeo
The Borromeo palace is a building seventeenth-century site in ' Isola Bella on Lake Maggiore (municipality of Stresa , province of Verbano-Cusio-Ossola ), whose gardens stretching down to the southern tip of the islet. It still belongs to the Borromeo family. Some land was purchased on Isola Bella (then Lower Island) by Julius Caesar III Borromeo in the sixteenth century .
The Count and Marquis Carlo III Borromeo gave the island the name of his wife, Isabella d'Adda . I will buy other land and began construction of the building in 1632 . At the same time, between 1631 and 1634 , by the architect Giovanni Angelo Crivelli, the general layout of the gardens was created, with the idea of giving the island the shape of a ship. To make the terraces, a large amount of land was transported with the boats, which covered the rocky soil of the island. On the west side, the Torre della Noria was erected, site of the hydraulic systems necessary for irrigation. The garden housed oranges, lemons, boxwoods and cypresses, to which crops of useful plants were mixed.
Between 1652 and 1690 the son of Charles III, Vitaliano VI , with the support of his brother, Cardinal Giberto Borromeo , had the addition by his architect, Francesco Castelli , the stone decorations: balustrades, statues, obelisks, vases . The works in the building were also followed by the builders Francesco Maria Richini and Carlo Fontana . On the ground floor a series of rooms open to the garden were decorated in grotto.
In the garden it was renounced to the construction of the central Casino that had been planned and the San Rocco oratory was demolished, building in its place a system of underground chambers. In 1675 the Diana's atrium, with two slightly staggered curved stairways, was built to solve the axial lack of alignment between the building and the garden.
With Vitaliano VIII ( 1792 - 1874 ), an expert in botany , species of exotic plants, greenhouses and a new water pumping system were introduced in the gardens. The palace was completed by prince Vitaliano X ( 1892 - 1982 ) who finished the north façade and the connected pier and built the large hall on the basis of the original design.

Visitare Catanzaro , un breve giro per le vie della città.
Catanzaro si affaccia sul golfo di Squillace, nel mar Ionio, dove secondo alcuni studiosi si trovava il porto del regno dei Feaci, nel quale, come racconta Omero nell'Odissea, Ulisse fu accolto e raccontò la sua storia.
Il territorio comunale si estende dal mare fino a un'altezza di circa 600 metri, La casa comunale sorge a 320 m. Comprende una zona costiera sul mar Ionio che ospita 8 km di spiaggia e un porto turistico, da qui il centro abitato risale la valle della Fiumarella (anticamente detta fiume Zaro) sede di un forte sviluppo urbanistico, fino ai i tre colli: del Vescovado, di San Trifone (o di San Rocco) e di San Giovanni (o del Castello) su cui sorge il centro storico della città e che si ricollegano con la Sila verso Nord. Per la sua particolare orografia il territorio comunale è bagnato dal mare, ma soggetto a fenomeni nevosi d'inverno.
I corsi d'acqua principali sono il torrente Fiumarella (nel dialetto locale Hjiumareddha, anticamente detto Zaro), nel quale confluisce il torrente Musofalo, il torrente Corace (anticamente detto Crotalo) il maggiore in termini di portata d'acqua che delimita il confine comunale a sud e il torrente Alli che delimita il confine comunale a nord. Per loro natura i corsi d'acqua sono a carattere torrentizio ed hanno una scarsa portata nella maggior parte dell'anno, mentre si gonfiano dopo le piogge.

[4K] - “Isola Bella” (“Isole Borromeo”, VB, IT) - YI 4K+gimbal+100Mb/s bit rate hack
A short, mid-day, visit to “Isola Bella”, one of the three “Borromeo” Isles located on “Lake Maggiore”, near “Stresa” (province of Verbania, Italy). We took the ferry at “Carciano” port, a few miles away from Stresa, just besides the cable-car station that takes you at the top of the “Mottarone” mount, from where it is possible to enjoy a 360° view of the wonderful panorama around, along with the spectacular view of the Alpes, the 7 lakes, all visible from there, and the entire “Padana” flatland.
The Borromean Islands (It. Isole Borromee) are a group of three small islands and two islets in the Italian part of Lago Maggiore, located in the western arm of the lake, between Verbania to the north and Stresa to the south. Together totalling just 50 acres (20 hectares) in area, they are a major local tourist attraction for their picturesque setting.
Their name derives from the Borromeo family, which started acquiring them in the early 16th century (Isola Madre) and still owns the majority of them (Isola Madre, Bella, San Giovanni) today.
Isola Bella, named for Isabella, countess Borromeo, was originally a largely barren rock; after first improvements and buildings, opened by count Carlo III between 1629 and 1652, his son Vitaliano the 6th built an attractive summer palace, bringing in vast quantities of soil in order to build up a system of ten terraces for the garden. The unfinished building displays paintings by Lombard artists and Flemish tapestries.
Isola Madre, the largest of the three, is also noted for its gardens, which have been maintained since about 1823 in an English style. Its palace, though uninhabited, is splendidly furnished with 16th- to 19th-century Italian masterpieces and paintings.
Isola dei Pescatori or Isola Superiore is now the only inhabited island in the archipelago. It has a fishing village, which in 1971 had a population of 208.
Isolino di San Giovanni is located just off Pallanza (today part of Verbania) to the north.
The tiny uninhabited rock of Malghera, with an area of only 200 square meters, lies between Isola Bella and Isola dei Pescatori and offers bushy vegetation and a small beach.
