Lake Orta and Gianni Rodari
Steps: Lac D'Orta
A day on Lake Orta will allow you to follow in the footsteps of Gianni Rodari, a great author of Italian children's literature, originally from Omegna. His novel Twice upon a time Baron Lambert is set entirely on the island of San Giulio. A children's amusement park is now dedicated to him.
Lake Maggiore and Hemingway
Steps: Îles Borromées
Ernest Hemingway described at length the landscape of the mountains reflected in the waters of Lake Maggiore in his Farewell to Arms; find the elegant and exotic atmosphere of this novel in the salons of the Grand Hotel of the Borromean Islands and on the Borromean Islands themselves. A true journey through time!
Lake Como and Alessandro Manzoni
Steps: Lac De Côme
Pliny the Younger, Virgil, Shelley, Stendhal and others, enchanted by the beauties of Lake Como, have sung its charms in their works. The most true? Alessandro Manzoni, the great romantic writer of Italy at the end of the 19th century, whose memories are still alive in Lecco.
