A magical fusion of villa, garden and lake
A number of events of great cultural interest have been held at the villa in recent years.
The pavilion has hosted highly successful jazz and classical music concerts, operatic recitals and plays, performed before enthusiastic audiences delighted to discover such a setting.
Press conferences and book presentations have been held recently, as well as art exhibitions held in the cellars, a setting which might have been designed to enhance the works on display.
Food and wine evenings have also been organised, featuring fish from the lake or specialities from the mountains and valleys of the Ossola such as cheese, wine, ham and bread. These events have included guided visits to the garden. Other visits have introduced the garden to enthusiasts of botany from abroad, drawn by the attraction of a park which remained essentially unchanged in layout and species planted for almost 200 years.
Occasional firework displays enhance the beauty of the lake, though its splendour at sunset on summer evenings and its more subdued appeal on autumn days need little embellishment.
