Palazzo Borromeo, Art museum and palazzo in Stresa, Italy
The Palazzo Borromeo stands on Isola Bella in Lake Maggiore, featuring baroque architecture with a T-shaped layout and an 80-meter-long central facade.
Construction began in 1632 under Carlo III Borromeo, with Giovanni Angelo Crivelli designing the architectural plans that transformed a simple island into a noble residence.
The Picture Gallery contains 130 paintings by masters including Raphael, Titian, and Correggio, alongside sixteenth-century Flemish tapestries in dedicated exhibition rooms.
The palace welcomes visitors from March to November, offering access to over 20 rooms in the Galleria Berthier and ten garden terraces with seasonal blooms.
White peacocks roam freely through the gardens, which contain rare plant species such as Gunnera manicata and Halesia diptera among geometric architectural decorations.
