Villa Tesio, Horse breeding estate in Dormelletto, Italy.
Villa Tesio spreads across meadows near Lake Maggiore, featuring white gates, cypress-lined avenues, and wooden-fenced pastures for thoroughbred horses.
Federico Tesio established this estate in 1898, transforming local farmhouses into stables and creating the largest horse breeding complex in Italy.
The property maintains the tradition of selective horse breeding, following scientific methods introduced by Federico Tesio in the early 20th century.
The villa is accessible by car through the A26 highway exit at Castelletto Ticino or by train to Dormelletto station with public parking available.
The estate produced champion horses like Nearco and Ribot, earning Federico Tesio the title 'Wizard of Dormello' for his genetic breeding innovations.
