Villa San Remigio, Italian heritage villa in Pallanza, Verbania, Italy.
Description
Villa San Remigio is an Italian heritage residence in Pallanza situated on Castagnola Hill overlooking Lake Maggiore. The building features stone tunnels, porticoes, and multiple balconies positioned at various angles to frame views of the lake and surrounding landscape.
History
The villa was constructed in the early 1900s by Marquis Silvio della Valle di Casanova and his wife Sophia Browne, positioned near a twelfth-century Romanesque church. This location blends modern residential design with much older ecclesiastical architecture on the same hillside.
Culture
The gardens are divided into sections named after emotions such as Hours, Joy, Sadness, Memories, and Sighs. These names reflect Italian landscape philosophy and encourage visitors to experience each space as a distinct emotional journey.
Practical
The property serves as offices for the Province of Verbania administration, so garden visits need to be arranged in advance. Civil marriage ceremonies can also be held on the grounds, making prior coordination necessary for any visit.
Did you know?
The residence combines a Neapolitan poet's vision with an Irish painter's artistic skill, resulting in a rare blend of Renaissance and Baroque architectural details. This partnership is especially visible in the room designs and garden layout choices.
