Villa Fogazzaro Roi, Literary residence in Valsolda, Italy.
Villa Fogazzaro Roi stands along Lake Lugano with gardens and terraces that extend toward the water, displaying neoclassical and Art Nouveau architectural elements.
Built in the late 19th century, the villa gained recognition as the summer residence of Italian writer Antonio Fogazzaro, who created several literary works within its walls.
The interior spaces contain original furnishings, personal belongings, and an extensive collection of books that belonged to Antonio Fogazzaro during his creative period.
Visitors can access the villa through guided tours from Wednesday to Sunday between 11:00 AM and 5:00 PM, with advance reservations recommended during peak seasons.
The villa features a dry dock that appears in Fogazzaro's novel 'The Little World of the Past' as the location where the character Ombretta meets her fate.
