maggiore lake villas

The Lake Maggiore is a very nice lake of Italy, with its lacustrine waters and the serenity of the distant mountains.The splendidly situated lake isle, Isola Bella, with its kitsch Borromini palace and famously Frenchified formal garden, was once used by Mussolini as the venue for a 30s peace conference. The idea must have been that Neville Chamberlain and the French premier, and Il Duce himself, would find the tranquil environs so conducive they would come up with some marvellous way of placating Hitler. The earnestly hopeful Stresa communiqué that was the result of their talks can still be seen in the room where it was signed: all the more poignant when one knows what came after.
