In a normal July, the estate would attract 1,000 paying visitors a day — this year it is closer to 300. “The town is calm, keeping our eyes open,” says Giuliana Zanzola, the estate’s tourist manager. “But fewer ticket sales mean we soon won’t have the money to pay the gardeners and ourselves. It’s really bad.” The lake forms part of the border between Piedmont and Lombardy, two regions that were badly hit by the coronavirus outbreak in the early spring. Lombardy accounts for close to half of all Covid-related deaths in the country.

  • Inghams Guide and Insights to Lake Maggiore
    Inghams guide and insights to Lake Maggiore Introduction to Lake Maggiore Lake Maggiore’s rich and colourful past seems ever present as you explore and enjoy this spectacular lake with shores bordered with lush Mediterranean vegetation, and the backdrop of the Alps in the distance. Ever since Napoleon built the Simplon highway from Geneva to Milan, which ran to the shores of Lake Maggiore, it became part of the Grand Tour, a haven for Europeans and British pioneers. Seduced by its Mediterranean climate, they built imposing villas and beautiful gardens attracting aristocrats, poets, writers and composers of the time. It was the setting for Ernest Hemingway’s “A Farewell to Arms” and it is easy to imagine his heroes fleeing from the Italian police in a rowing boat, trying to reach the Swiss border of the lake. Kings and Queens, writers, poets and composers such as Verdi, Wagner and Rossini have enjoyed the same panoramic views, nearby islands, exquisite botanical gardens, woodlands and tranquility that exist today. Lake Maggiore is the second largest lake on the south side of the Alps. The west bank is in the Italian region of Piedmont and the right in Lombardy. In the north Lake Maggiore crosses the Swiss border into the canton of Ticino. It is 65 km long and 10 km across at its widest point between Pallanza and Stresa. In spring and early summer the shores are lined with oleander and the scent of orange blossom pervades. Ever present are the magnificent palm trees and the heavenly scent of verbena. Across from Lake Maggiore lie the Borromean Islands and Isola Bella.

  • Chapter 14: the Geography of Italian Rivers and Italian Wood
    PART IV Chapter 14 The geography of Italian rivers and Italian wood For an explanation of the numerals 1-10 see Chapter 15, p. 21. The river Po flows eastwards across the whole 250-mile width of northern Italy. It begins its journey west of Turin, and flows through Turin, Casale, just south of Pavia, through Piacenza and Cremona, just south of Mantua, and then just north of Ferrara, before reaching the Adriatic Sea 40 miles south of Venice.1 Since the Adriatic is not tidal the river Po always flows from west to east. Visits made by the present author, during 2012, to the banks of the river Po at Cremona, revealed an enormously wide river which, despite being at a low level, was flowing eastwards very swiftly. To move a cargo vessel upstream on the river Po during the late-seventeenth and early-eighteenth centuries would have been a slow, arduous, and expensive business. At a time when muscle- and/or wind-power were the only forces of propulsion available, such a journey would have required either 1. a wind blowing from the Adriatic strongly enough to overcome the force of the eastward flow of the river 1 All mileages are measured in straight lines unless indicated otherwise. Chapter 14, page 1 2. (with a wind blowing from the west) tacking diagonally and repeatedly across the river, which would considerably increase the distance travelled 3. ‘kedging’: putting an anchor into a rowing boat (the anchor attached by cable to the cargo vessel) and the boatmen rowing upstream ahead of the vessel.

  • Lake Maggiore the Italian Lakes - Maggiore and Orta
    Telephone: +44 (0) 1722 322 652 Email: [email protected] Lake Maggiore The Italian Lakes - Maggiore and Orta https://www.onfootholidays.co.uk/routes/lake-maggiore/ page 1/10 Route Summary At a glance Lake Maggiore 7 night option (the full walk). Add extra nights on Isola Pescatori or at Orta to enjoy each lake to the full, or on the top of the mountain (Mottarone). This walk has some short walks that can easily be condensed so if you're looking for a more challenging walk, please see our shorter options. How much walking? Full days: 9½-18km per day, 3½-5¾ hrs walking Using shortening options: The Stresa (Carciano) funicular (closed 2021 until further notice) could be used to avoid the walk to Gignese or to Mottarone. No other feasible shortening options (other than to miss whole days) Max. Grade: This walk – On Foot’s first in the Italian Lakes – brings the glory of the Alps to walkers of modest abilities. The area was the first Italian stop on the Grand Tour, and the resorts around Lake Maggiore developed early in a style pleasing to the eye. The three Borromean islands, notable for their gardens, are worth an extra day exploring via the frequent public ferries linking them. Route Highlights ● The islands of Lake Maggiore – Pescatori, Bella and Madre ● Taking the ferry around Lake Maggiore ● The hike up to Mottarone ● Dining in a mountain-top hotel ● The chapels of Sacro Monte ● Orta San Giulio and the convent on the island ● A walk around Lake Orta We Recommend Extra nights at the start and finish to appreciate the lakes, and time in Orta to really explore the 20 chapels of Sacro Monte.
